I do! I'm at the beginning stages of looking for a snow/ice bike. I'd love to see your set up. I should probably start another thread so I don't hijack this one.

BW, you'll see. It's not that cold once you get going. Just keep going out, even after you think it's too cold. The worst thing that will happen is you'll decide it is indeed too cold, and you'll go back home. But until you reach your cold threshold on the bike, it's not accurate. It's probably what you know is too cold for walking in, which is actually much warmer than for cycling. I can ride in temps I'd never want to walk in.
