I'm actually a hair outside Toronto but I'll chime in.

It's cold. -13C (9 f)

The roads and sidewalks are completely clear but I need to head over to the store today and I find that this temp is too cold for bike riding. So I'll just walk.

I'm sure lots of people are complaining but it's no big thing for me.
 
Gotta have a hat.

Who me? Sure. It's not a pain at all. It's no different than bike riding any time. You dress for the conditions and hop on and away you go.

Now ice on the ground = no good, and there is a point of coldness where breathing starts getting more uncomfortable so I don't ride then. I think of -5C as the cutoff. But there are still lots of windows. I definitely ride less in the winter but I never just put my bike away.
