On my last stupid cold commute of last winter, I was sweating when I got to work. My body seems to go through and adjustment when riding; first is the insult of work versus rest. I breathe a little more and sweat as if I'm actually working. It all settles down before the tenth mile or so, no benefit for commuting. I still have to dress for the contingency of failure; the sub zero tube change or some other life threatening, cold-wrought, idiocy.
I do commute with an extra insulating garment packed in my bag through winter, seems a good bit of habit for any S24O. Need something not made sticky feeling by that sub-dripping sweating from what seems like comfortable effort on the bike. I do find that being outdoors in the evening as the temps drop to be a real education in the dew point concept. Water is going to condensate at some thermal meniscus between your body heat/moisture engine core and the falling temps of your surroundings, dress accordingly. Or as Ted Turner, at the helm of Courageous in the Americas Cup said of knots, during your inability to recall the correct one; tie enough of them. Take enough clothes.
