What I dislike is all the extra logistics regarding layers, which gloves, planning stops more (worrying about cooling down too much on stops), what the light conditions will be etc.

Getting prepared and managing the layers is much m,ore time consuming, especially for commuting since I use a medium-sized backpack. It is also more difficult to do maintenance on the bike outside because it is cold and usually dark when I have the free time to do it. Also finding the right pace/layers that doesn't leave you sweating more than your garments can handle.
