It might work for late fall and early spring on a mountain bike, but it could be a tough sell for road riding where windchill is more of an issue. The quantum fabric is more wind-resistant than the regular knits, but it isn't windproof by any means. Personally, I'd recommend a lighter weight shirt like Elise suggested, and pair it up with a lightweight windshirt like a marmot driclime, or something from another manufacturer that is more cycling-specific.

By itself you would probably be ok as long as there is constant airflow. If you layered over it with a jersey or wind shirt you would probably be pretty warm. If that is more your style I recommend looking into a 160 weight in the superfine or performance category.
