Mind you, I never rode on the coldest days, but even when it was -10 (or even a bit colder) outside, I only wore a long sleeve t-shirt and my shell jacket, a thin pair of track pants and my shell pants. (plus my cycling gloves and a Bellaclava).

If I was just standing outside, i would have been really cold, but biking keeps one warm.

The hard packed snow that covered the paths for 3 months straight was much more of a detriment to biking than cold was.

I plan to continue to bike during the winter, not every day, but 2-3 days a week, minimum, as long as it's not snowing or -30.
