Fortunately I was dressed well enough so that the only annoyance was that I had to keep taking breaks to warm my hands up, after needing them bare to work. When I got to work, my hands and feet were both slightly uncomfortable, due to being out longer than usual, but nothing dangerous. Delayed me about 25 minutes, including the 3 minutes spent conversing with the nice older gentleman who came out of the house to make sure I was okay, just as I got the wheel back on.
That's cold. I had to do that earlier this winter tho' it was more like 30F. I couldn't move my fingers when I finished.
My commute was excellent this AM, actually warmish!! Like 50F
Velo: You better not piss off the commuting gods asking silly Q's like that!! Winter is waiting. We only juust begun.
