Headwinds are a pain in the arris. Dont forget you still get wind resistence from forward momentum alone so add a ten mile an hour plus headwind and things get interesting.I drop down a gear...try to drop my head a little and generally get very out of breath
. To be honest if its bad i tend to slacken off a little and accept the fact thatthere will be a few minutes added to the journey.
Strong sidewinds on a commute can be difficult as well, particularly in heavy traffic.......both headwinds and sidewinds can be dangerous if high sided vehicles are passing at any speed.
