Hah!
It's actually not as bad as many people think.
The old truism: dress in layers. Lots of really good
warm/dry fabrics out there now that really help you
keep warm in the cold.
But a heated bicycle seat still intrigues me!

BS!!! It is worse than people think!! <VBG> I've worked out side for
probably 30 years. I agree with layering and LOL Bean and Deluth. But after
a few hours out in 10 or below with wind blowing it flat out sucks!!!

Well my bike ride to work is only about an hour each way.
It's not the same as working out in the cold for hour upon
hour.
I've worked full days doing outside carpentry (house/barn/garage
framing) during the winter as well as a groundsman for Clarke
School for the Deaf here in Northampton, and it ain't no picnic
being out in cold weather for hour upon hour.
Yet those crazy skiers and snowmobilers do it *for fun* and
think nothing of it...while someone riding their bike in the
cold for an hour at a time twice per work day is considered
a nut!
Still, sometime my big lovely Dodge "Global Warmer" has a pull
on me that I can't resist! Screw the bike today...I'm motoring
in to work (I'll rough it out by not having heated seats)!
