The coldest I've ever ridden in (recently in last 15yrs) is 21F. I've done a few 25F commutes of 8.5mi. I
think it would be possible clothless if pushing hard, not pleasant and prone to cold damage/hypo certainly. I really don't know though. I've done that 8.5mi commute at 30F with shorts and t-shirt (poor planning) and it was not so bad. Anyway the point was that the
one item at that temp that would be most important would be shoes.
Anyway it was just a fun thought experiment. Maybe a wool hat would be better (wool bodysuit doesn't count
)
