My saying about wind chill is, “Wind chill is for wimps.” There always will be a wind chill when you cycle, and in the summer it can be beneficial. So I dress for the actual temperature rather than "feels like..."
I ride outdoors year round, even down to single digits, but only because I commute, and cycling has thus become part of my lifestyle. I’ll extend the 14 mile commute in the summer but in winter my job is the only thing that gets me out to ride, and IMO, that’s a good thing. Otherwise, I’m so busy, I probably would do no exercise at all.
BTW, surgeonstone, are you a surgeon? I’m a surgical pathologist. I once asked a fellow BF subscriber, Pathdoc, if he was a pathologist and he was, and invited me to come and take a look at a job in Texas.
