Aida Asked:

I have seen a chart showing clothing recommendations for each 10 degree F category. Cannot find it again...

Check out the icebike mailing list (see link on the www.icebike.com site.) You can get good feedback from regular winter cyclists.

The clothing required depends on temperature, precipitation, wind, and cycling intensity. Generally, when you start a ride in the cold, you should be a little bit cold. that way, after you warm up, you will be a comfortable temperature. (Though I sometimes cheat and put on a light jacket that I can quickly remove.) Windy freezing rain can be one of the most painful things to deal with (waterproof, warm and breathable.)
I simply used layers of clothing that I had, gradually bringing out the ski goggles once the temperature reached -15F. Cold actually gives you more flexibility than wet.
