Do you go naked down below?
Nothing like a breeze on your balls in the morning. I do get some strange looks when I walk in to reception mind. I tend to blame the fact it's always so cold in Manchester though.

Take one windproof jersey, add lightweight jersey & arm warmers underneath & with a compression base layer that little lot is good down to about 7C. For the return journey If it doesn't get over 15C just use the jacket on the way home, if it's over that then use the jersey & arm warmers... unless it's getting much over 20C at which point you ditch the arm warmers as well.No, no, no and thrice no!!!! Arm warmers are just a way of getting cyclists to part with more money. They serve no purpose. If it's cold, wear a long sleeve top, if it's not, don't! UK temperatures don't vary that much eg today starting at 11C and rising to 19C, short sleeves.
It's better to be slightly to warm than slightly too cold. For this reason I don't ditch the knee warmers or 3/4 longs until it's almost 20C. Also my arm warmers stay on until it's that sort of temp too. When I do this I find I'm far less effected by long periods of riding in prolonged shadow than other riders.
