Regulating temperature on winter rides is the hardest thing. At 30 degrees or at 20 degrees, it's quite a difference in how you need to dress. Hands are one thing -- and I really like the bottle concept -- but it's my toes that get the worst.
I've used booties over my shoes. But the real problem is the metal cleat connected to a metal pedal and to a metal connector right next to the foot that acts as a heat sink to suck the heat right out of the foot. I've used cardboard between the insole and cleat which helps a lot, till it gets wet, but still not enough. I've used the chemical hand warmers over my toes which works well, but it gets really tight in the shoes. I'm too cheap to buy electric socks or winter riding boots.
