Edit: the gear I wore for today's ride:

on the head:
  • neoprene face mask
  • helmet
on the torso:
  • t-shirt
  • light cotton sweatshirt
  • fleece pullover
  • windbreaker
  • reflective vest
legs:
  • regular underwear, jeans
hands/feet:In other words, not actually a lot of specialized gear, just a lot of layering.

The hardest things for me to keep warm are my ears and fingers. The face mask ($12 at the Army Barracks in Boston) is key, because it's thin enough to fit comfortably under my helmet, but still insulates enough to keep my face from falling off. The gloves ($11, also from the Army Barracks) are fingerless gloves with a mitten flip-top, which is perfect for winter biking: the mitten top keeps my fingers warm but I can pop out my fingers if I need to use my keys or open a lock.

I wear neoprene surf boots around (as shoes) sometimes ... they are cute and good for wet ground, but can get smelly.
