Is your bike rusting?
Do you wear heated gear? What's the coldest you ride in?

I ride in the thirties before the sand and salt hit the streets. I want to retire where I can ride everyday.

No heated clothes, about 28 degrees, just wore normal, with insulated boots and a balaclava to keep the chill off my neck and lower face. Don't think I ever got over about 30 mph, so not much wind chill to deal with. Could have gone longer, but the building snow was making the rig struggle. Just as well, plow came down my road about an hour later, made a salt slush out of it. They really pour the salt on here.
Don't think I've ever been below zero, but teens at least. I've hit light snow on 3 or 4 trips, but had clothes for it.

Let the grandkid ride ride it down to the cul de sac circle, I put it back. About 10 minutes in 14 degrees without really bundling up and my fingers and nose were hurting already, but he had a little fun.
