-15C? I've cycle-commuted in -20C ;)

The thing people might not realize is that when you're exerting yourself, your body generates plenty of heat to keep you warm - it's really just a matter of keeping that heat contained. It's more akin to doing a winter sport like skiing, snowboarding, etc. than it is to sitting passively in a car.

I totally agree! But personally, I prefer taking the bus/subway over biking when it’s cold. “Why should I wear two layers and a scarf when the bus stop is in front of my apartment building” would be the question I ask myself. I get to listen to my stuff, be comfortable and etc.

And that’s pretty much the line of thought I can see a car-centric person might have. Might be completely wrong though, cars and I live in non-adjacent worlds.
