We were never cold.

In cycling it can be the opposite because riders may have very little protection, and can certainly tell the difference if you pedal at lower speeds up a mountain in cold weather where you may not even feel how cold it is because of the physical effort to generate power, but then descending at high speeds and no power can get very uncomfortable.

Yeah, I think wind chill was meant to be used as an equivalent temperature on exposed skin, and doesn’t mean much when you have a bunch of insulation covering you up, or are inside a building, etc...
