Hundreds of cyclists brave Moscow cold minus 27C

The organisers ignored warnings to cancel and say some 500 took part in
the ride, aimed at promoting cycling.
The participants, some dressed as Santa Claus or the Russian equivalent,
braved temperatures of minus 27C.
"Not one of the participants... ended up going to the doctors after it
finished," organisers said.

Why would someone need a doctor for -27C? It was -19C once in Scotland, I didn't even notice it was much colder than -5C. Apart from my diesel engine having difficulty firing.

I had a friend from northern Russia. He made the point it wasn't so much
about the temperature as it was about the clothes you wore. In effect it
was perfectly OK to go out when it was very cold you just had to dress
appropriately.

Utter bull****. Humans are warm blooded and can create their own heat. Why is it people get worried when they shiver, but not when they sweat?

I know many people who have been meteorite collecting in Antarctica.
They say on sunny days you do not feel the cold because of the near zero humidity.

Or because of that big ball of fire in the sky radiating directly onto you.

There was a news article I had to laugh at once. Two cyclists wearing shorts and tshirts were "caught in rain" in October. That's ABOVE zero. And apparently they were so cold they couldn't move their legs to continue cycling. WTF? They must have been faulty, as they didn't even say they were shivering.
