I commute by bike 2 or 3 days a week outside of Portland Maine. Last week had the coldest days so far at 17F (-8C). Generally my face and breath are always fine fully exposed, but my fingertips always get very cold even in the 30s. My ride starts off with a couple uphills so that warms me up pretty well, and I alternate pulling my fingers into the palms of my gloves from one hand to the other. The traffic is not usually _too_ bad, so the joys of biking generally outweigh all the other irritations!
