What they wrote is more or less correct. Riding in winter really doesn't require too much special. Most important thing is the determination to do it. Its cold. So you try to avoid cold. The article says old mountain bike with studded tires. Good. Tights or long johns. Good. Buff? Assume that is a balaclava. Good for winter riding. Wool socks. Also good. Need to keep feet warm. He wears hiking boots, not bike specific shoes. Works for shorter commutes.

The vast majority of commuting, year round, requires the determination to do it. That is the most important thing. Not much special equipment is needed.
