2. You should see the people who ride their bikes to work year-round in...
Minneapolis.

I'm not making this up.

Actually, some of them HAVE to, because they can't afford a car. Others are just being environmentally sound. Others consider it their daily exercise.

Maybe they keep the bike in a heated place before they go out...

5. In my case the emphasis was on the word "numb."
Did I mention that it was freaking cold outside?

6. And the problem isn't freezing your carbureter, it's when it is heating back up!

9. I rode my bike to work
everyday for a year here in wisconsin. I cursed the headwinds and wondered if I was going insane...but I made my goal for the year, including a few days when it was 10 - 15 below zero.

So good for you mate...:)
