The problem of cold feet in winter is insoluble. However some attempted solutions work better than others. Rule #1: Winter is not the time to fart around with artsy pedals. This means that you should get out some old bear claw pedals and wear hiking boots with heavy wool socks and polypro liners. I find goatskin work gloves plus a nylon shell work for my hands. Use a polypro baraclava cap/face mask and plenty of vaseline on your face. Maybe even ski goggles. I have gone out for a 2 hour ride at 20 degrees below zero Fahrenheit in reasonable comfort.
