So we had a cold snap a week or so ago. It's Michigan, it happens, like for months sometime. Temps were down in the teens, wind chill in single digits. Schools were closed one day but not the next. I went to work and back without any discomfort. Winter jacket up top and base layer under my slacks and was perfectly comfortable.
After work, I had an appointment and two quick errands to run. The streets were still frozen, icy and rutted, the temps in the teens and it was getting dark early. I decided to drive my car in the evening. Sitting in the car, in the same clothes, I was freezing and shivering. In and out of the car, bundled up as I was while riding my bike, I was totally uncomfortable while I was perfectly comfortable riding my bike in the same temps and clothing. Sitting to go places ain't good. Biking is the warm cold weather sport.
