Hurricane Britain

[Moodyman]

As Bromptonfb says, winds are a nuisance, but once you accept that you'll be in a lower gear and spinning more, it's not too bad.

I'd rather have winds than rain. I end up cleaning and re-lubing the bike after a wet ride. Windy ones only add a handful of minutes to my commute and I don't need to clean it.

I'd rather have winds than rain.

So would I, but I seem to have had both for the last three weeks nearly.

Still I set my fastest ever return commute with the tail wind and the weather's supposed to be improving all week

What is this headwind of which you speak?

Ahh Bentmikey, was wondering when you were going to comment on this thread.

Like a 4 x4 driver in snow, this is one of the rare occasions where you can come and tell us about the merits of your odd bike.
