And over in Canada, 35 degrees really is good riding weather. 35 deg Celsius = 95 deg F.

Man, when is the US ever going to come to its senses & join the rest of the world that operates on metric? You even hear Phil & Paul tell you the day's temperature in the Tour in celsius, for criying out loud! In Celsius, 0 is the freezing point of water and 100 is its boiling point. A liter of water also weighs one kilogram. There's a relationship among things, in additon to the easier base 10 math! In the Fahrenheit scale, 0 is the freezing point of a frigorific mixture of brine, and 100 was the temperature of Mrs. Fahrenheit's armpit, later adjusted so that water could be recorded as boiling at 212 deg F. Wow, you base a system on that?

Seriously, though, I think Celsius works better at cold temps. You KNOW when you need to be careful on icy streets when the temps hover around zero. But Fahrenheit is nice in hot weather. You know that you need to drink lots of fluids when it gets around 100. It's more impressive to say you rode in 110 degrees in Death Valley, rather than 43.3 degrees...

But except for the small matter of buying meat (we use "per 100 grams" but we still see "per pound" in places!), I'm sold on metric!
