Been having trouble with my back the past few months to the point where I've had to cut out all activity (except the cross-trainer 
) but yesterday I was given the all clear to resume cycling - makes such a difference seeing as I went from training 7 days a week for rowing to basically nothing over the last 9 weeks.
Heck of a day to get back on the bike, certainly was a windy one - WindFinder telling me gusts of up to 40 - and while there was a few sketchy moments there was such a sense of freedom zooming home at rush hour and not sitting in traffic on the bus or in a car.
Oh, and cyclists of Calder Rd (in Edinburgh) when I offer you the opportunity to sit in behind me, point and repeatedly look behind me, try not to look at me as if I've just insulted your mother!
