If you've done any real distance in feezing temps, then I'm impressed. Anything near freezing and I stiffen up and become practically useless.

I can go around town, but if you start packing the miles on, that's when the difference comes into play. There's nothing like being hypothermuc on a bike. You're bordering on being intoxicated.
Two of my buddies have done the London On to ottawa trip in 1-2 degree weather, and they were fine(without winter clothes).
