I only have a 2.5 mile commute. I sometimes wonder if drivers think I'm a homeless person (there are more of them riding bikes in my city than bike commuters).
LOL, and with all the clothing you were wearing, drivers might think you were wearing all the clothing you owned. Not to knock what you were wearing, I'd need much more than that to keep my body warm. I don't tolerate cold well at all.
