.... and I couldn't be more stoked! Empty bike paths, crisp air... I'm ready to throw on the studs.

Thick khakis with thin sweatpants underneath are a pretty good alternative to lined pants.

Like the other guy was saying, wool socks and a ski jacket also make a big difference.

It's also possible to get completely comfy in 20° F with high wind, by either going the snowboarder route (earmuffs, goggles, etc) or by spending a bit more and get a full face longboarding or skydiving helmet (much lighter/smaller than a motorcycle helmet).

Ski helmets are also really good!

Something like this, doesn't look too much out of place and you can remove padding and open vents a bit more if needed. Picked up non-mips version on sale some years ago for like 80e
