Some people want to be comfortable, Tom. Saying that there's little risk of hypothermia isn't going to convince anyone that riding in the cold is worthwhile if they just don't want to be cold.
While peak oil and climate change are noble causes to ride a bike for, not everyone cares to be noble every second of the day, nor should they be expected to think that way.
