Not sure about that. I cycled 40km last thursday in a temperature of
-4c. I was covered in frost. That was harsh.

Now, perhaps only a small part of the population expose themselves to
the outdoors - I'd happily accept that! Most people just fall out of
their centrally heated, super insulated houses, into their fully heated
cars and never experience the outdoors.
