A can of Sterno on a gimble mount on the handlebar or front rack and a flexible metal tube something like a home dryer vent works wonders when the open end of the vent tube is placed under a jacket. I did that one winter when the temperature with the wind chill was extremely frigid. Sterno fuel is a paste and that eliminates any danger of fire if you crash. A swingout cutoff plate between the Sterno and the metal tube allows for regulating the amount of heat you get.

Oversize boots can have hand warmers placed inside of them as can mitts.

Cheers
