Freezing cold I can deal with but really strong gusts of wind almost impossbile to cycle in just give up should have caught the train

I didn't think it was that bad. Quite mild, bit of a cross wind on Blackheath but other than that OK.

It felt windier last week, plus I had a non-movable front derailleur which did not help If you feel frazzled the lower gears are your friends!

I was cycling from South to Central to North London today. I took an absolute battering from the wind while riding through Hyde Park. Must give my respect to the cyclist who absolutely skinned me for pace on the Outer Circle of Regent's Park. He looked like a "proper" cyclist, though

It was one of the more stronger headwinds that I've experianced, but not that bad. Lots of peeps on the A21, made for some good fun

cycled from Greenwich to Orpington (Also along the A21), didn't think it was that bad. Agree that is was worse last week.

I picked the wrong day to try out a new stem. Which along with the gusty wind made things even more of a wobble. I managed in London, but on one road (B269-just outside Croydon) I had to take the cycle path and go slow. Drivers gave me lots of room though when I ran out of cycle path

Headwind? Ah... that was what that was. I knew something was up.

Now today was windy! Not a headwind but a very strong crosswind all the way from home to Deptford Bridge. Once I'd dropped down off Blackheath it eased a bit but until then I was fighting the bike all the way.
