From someone who decided not to submit PBC (Polar Bear Challenge) videos, here is submission number five. Actually only done since it happened to be below 0°F (-25°F or -32°C) and if you have at least one PBC video with it below zero Fahrenheit, you qualify as an "Arctic Bear". So why not...
I started and ended the ride in the garage so no cold soaked engine. The only "problem" is that since the thermometer is attached to the rear rack, I needed to ride somewhere before I could record the temperature and starting odometer reading. I rode out to the golf course parking lot since there was a nice view that I could aim the GoPro at while I recorded the starting temperature and odometer.
So the submission is for only half of the mileage actually ridden.

Looks like fun. Coldest I've been out in is -25°C for breakfast. Today's ride will be 3km @ -7°C (2 wheel 60cc).
I was not aware they made heated visors! How interesting. So...just what time is sunrise?
10:43am. The heated visor is on a Bombardier helmet made for riding in snow. It keeps ice from building up on the outside.
Last year, my coldest was -45°F or about the same as °C. But on 3 wheels (training wheels, eh)
Oh my, that is cold... you are one brave man, RichardM.
I'm cold just thinking about -25! But, it is beautiful.
The image of a motorcycle passing a wheel loader on an icy road really gets my motor runnin. Is that weird?
I don't know about that. Thick skinned maybe...
It definitely feet colder than the +16°F of the last video...
With our recent snow, the loaders were a common sight on the road.
I was wonder if the guy in the loader was shaking his head as you rode by.
Damn that is cold.
Damn, -45F is way below my personal best....
The guy in the loader smiled and waved as I went by.
You just need more "opportunities".
Record low here, Toronto, is -33°C or -27°F. Yesterday's run ended at 7.5 km.
