    Back in the day when I used to commute to work in the winter in Edmonton Alberta Canada, (you might like to look at a map), it was often - 20 celcius, (that's about - 8 F). I would use my winter hiking boots and socks with platform pedals. The platforms were a good idea anyway because spds can freeze and it's always good to be able to get you foot down quickly if you slide. The coldest I've ever riden, drumroll please.... minus 27 C, which equals about minus 22 F. Yikes. The hard part was that you couldn't stop or your glasses would fog because your entire face is covered and your hot breath gets behind the lenses. Oh well, you don't want to stop when it's that cold anyway.

    But you wouldn't catch me dead riding outdoors below freezing nowadays. So good on ya!
