Or as many of these as your riding situation fits. (And, I am sure I forgot something above, which someone will kindly point out to me. )

So, what is the coldest temperature Fahrenheit you will ride in?

I don't have a personal low temperature threshold even without those wonderful conditions you outlined above! If it's not precipitating and the roads are dry & ice-free, I'll get out on the bike & ride. I've never seen a temperature where I live that was so low that it would keep me off the bike on a clear, dry, windless day.

Of course, it almost never gets near 0°F where I live. I suppose if I woke up one morning and the thermometer said -50°F I might consider staying inside that day.
