Well thanks everyone that is all very helpful information ....I think I have been cutting off circulation and shoe straps too tight and too many layers of socks!! And check my clothing!

Hmmm! Maybe they are too tight with all the socks on!
 I'm surprised when you say put plastic bags over feet under socks, I would have thought that would really make my feet sweat, it would keep the socks dry!But I can certainly try that.(I am not aware of my feet sweating)
 Yes they are neoprene shoe covers, and my shoes do  have netted holes on the on top of them,.....
So at what temps might your feet get cold? and do you still only wear 1 pair of wool (i presume) socks and shoe covers when it is really cold?
I'm going to try less socks and plastic bags! (i do have the chemical toe warmers not tried them yet)
Thanks for your suggestions!

How do you keep your feet warm? I have wool socks, I maybe put on 2 more pairs of socks (not wool) and have shoe covers. I have MBS and road shoes,depending on which bicycle I am riding, my feet feel frozen...even in 50's f temps...my fingers are OK with thick gloves and wool liners...Anything else I can do for my toes? I would love to see your comments..thanks!

and did you add panniers to it or anything to carry some extra stuff in or on, it would be mostly water and snacks for me... thanks for your input! i am thinking the hybrid would be safer than the road bike not knowing the road conditions....

i have a road bike specialized ruby comp compact, but i am thinking for touring my trek 7.2 fx bicycle would be better for touring long distances, possibly transam, and not have to buy a 'touring bicycle'....your opinions would be appreciated....thanks...i only need to carry minimal equipment as i have a 'personal sag'... my motor biker husband!
