Although I prefer a nice comfortable 75 degrees, I like riding in the cold. I like watching the scenery change with the seasons. I like seeing Christmas decorations from my bike. I like knowing that people in their cars are saying, "Look at that idiot, he must be freezing", when of course, I'm not. I rode 20 miles yesterday in 22 F temps. Took me half an hour to get ready - shorts under thermal bibs, three layers above the waist, balaclava plus skull cap, gloves, heavy socks plus toe warmers.. had to use my tongue on the phone screen to start Strava (because of the gloves), my water bottle froze with 5 miles remaining, my average speed was almost 2 mph slower than summer, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
