I used to cross country ski, snow shoe, winter camp, etc…. Activities that don’t have a forward speed of 15-18 mph are easier to dress for. Road cycling, especially of there’s a wind of 15 or more, changes the equation and requires a different thought process as to the clothing you wear. Even mt biking is easier as your only going 8-10 mph and you’re sheltered in the woods,
