I was excited to ride to work today in the sunny spring weather. Then I saw the wind forecast. No thank you, I’ll pass. I ride directly into the wind on my commute home, and am completely exposed the whole way.
Edit: For people who use proper units, 43 miles/hour is 69 km/hour.
Commuted in range from 19(-7) to 104(40). Wind gusts of 50 mph(80 mph) heavy rain and light snow. Good riding gear goes a long way. Draw the line at “winter mix”/ice storm, heavy snow where losing control a real possibility. Also dense smoke.
