I rode the other day at 18F, but that’s about my low limit. With the right gear you can be quite comfortable. I would take 20* over 100* any day.

I hate cold weather.
I also work in a town about 35 miles from where I live and since I also take my kids to school in the morning I don't have time to commute by bike. On the other hand, I do keep a bike on the college campus where I work and ride it at least a couple of miles a day to and from the parking lot and around campus for meetings, etc. Yesterday it was 15°, but with 25 mph winds. This morning it was 18°, but with much lighter winds. I don't like it, but for such short distances I'll ride in it anyway. |
Tonight I set a temp record, it’s 0f with no wind. A 30min wasnt too bad until I came inside and realized how cold my toes were.
Still, way better than being bored to insanity going nowhere on a trainer. :) |
No car. (by choice.)
No public transportation here. No funds for a cab. No friends or acquaintances to bum a ride from. Nothing is within "walking distance" of where I live. (Plus it is too daRn cold out to walk anywhere.) Therefore, I ride my bike or trike everywhere, year round. |
Love my car and truck.
Cold doesn't bother me as I can dress for it, but no way I'm getting hurt by falling on ice. Waiting for safe conditions. |

Yes, but in Watopia.
Honestly, the roads around here aren't safe due to ice. I'll stay on the trainer for a while. |
A wonderful bright sunny, almost windless day. A light coating of snow on the mostly unplowed dirt roads helped with traction over the icy spots. Temp started out at -15, then mid day touched on zero. Went for a great ride. Afterward sat on the deck in a sun drenched rocking chair and sipped a grapefruit Radler - it started to get a little slushy before I finished it. One can get suprisingly parched riding in cold weather.
