I ride year round here in the DC area, try not to ride when the roads are covered in salt like they are right now, and generally only ride when the temp is above freezing, but I have ridden when it was 26 degrees out.
You have 2 choices for cold weather, dress so you look like the Michelin Man or wear electric heated gear. Of course for the latter you need a bike with a big enough electrical system to run all of the gear. I have warm gear, heated grips, and hand guards to block some of the wind on my hands. I also have used a set of hippo hands which work very well.
