They work alright, but honestly, as a bike commuter myself I'd strongly encourage you look into wool base layers. The difference is incredible, IMO. Both Smartwool and Icebreakers make really good stuff. We haven't gotten a lot of 0F weather here in Madison, WI yet this year, but wearing a mid-weight wool base layer and a wind-proof shell is more than adequate for my ~4 mile ride into work. Cheers!

At zero degrees, I get a little warm on the uphill, but don't sweat. At higher temps, like 20-30, I wear fewer cloths, like lighter gloves, and I ditch the neoprene shoe covers and neck gaiter.

That first pic looks kinda R rated! I thought this was a family website! How long does it take to get all this gear in place and ready to ride? Do you tend to sweat in all of this? I dunno, Bob.
