Riding a bicycle below -15 - -20 celsius is already kinda hard (just did that and got that blood taste in my mouth = sh1tty condition and not enough sleep) but below -20 °C bike is kinda sluggish because grease and oil tend to get stiff in those temperatures and when it's -30 °C you prefer not to ride a your bike at all. After winter (0-30 °C) cycling feels so easy and nice, fast! But living in a city, so I ride all year around. Free, ecofriendly, burning my fat and getting exercise = so some you win some you lose.

This makes me wonder if snow cyclists (bicyclists who ride bikes with super-wide tires straight through snow) have any special tricks. I have only ridden through snow once and it was barely below freezing. But I suppose you are getting more exercise if you have to deal with stiff lubricants, so good for you!
