I've rode in temperatures 15-20F, only four or five miles at a time back and forth to work. I wouldn't/won't willingly do it again without at least heated gloves and a balaclava for company.
I'll ride all day in anything over 30 or 35 degrees willingly, although once I got caught out in the snow and I'd prefer not to do that again.
What's the coldest you willingly ride in?

Re: What's the coldest you willingly ride in?
So today I rode in to work at 60° / 15° and found it cool... is my Canadian blood running a bit thin these days? I guess I'll find out next weekend when I'm back in Calgary (but it better not snow!)!

Re: What's the coldest you willingly ride in?
Last night I rode in 48 degrees temp... and all was good except the bridge of my noise. Very cold for me. I use layered clothing and I stay warm but don't get into really cold temps. Living in Louisiana, US I rarely see any extreme weather. Had gloves, jacket, and flannel line pants, with long johns, and balaclava. Takes me 5 minutes to put all that stuff on.
