It takes longer to warm up but once you get going it's not bad. Stretching is more important and crashes do hurt more.

Beards help, as does a good knit hat. If I don't warm up properly, riding in the cold sucks. Source: I live above 7000 ft in Wyoming.

Dans usually has a few good choices of cold weather riding gloves

Thermal long sleeve shirts

Beanie

Warm shoes

Dressing in layers

It's important to keep the extremities warm like hands, feet and head since that is where the body is most susceptible to outside temps.
