Nope. Around here, when it's that cold it's studded tires time. Not going to run a special bike and tires for maybe 3 days/year. Riders here mostly don't ride when it's below 40 at 10 am. Excellent chance of a broken clavicle.
That said, I grew up in Fairbanks and delivered papers on foot at 65° below. What worked best at that temperature 60 years ago was quilted dacron underwear on top over wool long johns, with solid felt shoes over 3 pair of wool socks on the feet. Windproof and thick. Today it would be a down parka and pants or down suit. Certainly nothing water resistant. That would be silly.
