Case in point: children in Finland bike to school [1] even at -17C/2F. Studded tires work really well, even if it‘s a bit icy. [1] https://www.boredpanda.com/s

  Temperature isn’t the best indicator of bikeability. That photo, to me, looks like a cloudless sky, so chances are it’s dry, little or no wind, and low humidity. Even at -17C, that’s easy to dress for and way better than what you get around freezing with wind and rain, when the cloud cover prevents temperatures from dropping very deep (e.g. your typical British/Belgian/Dutch autumn weather) Even that is quite doable, though, at shortish distances (say less than 5km), certainly with some wind cover, as there typically is in cities.
