One of the Danish members on YACF had "The wind are our mountains" (sic) in his sig line.Guess wind is the equivalent of hills here LOL
The Dutch have a headwind cycling championship, where they pick a really windy day and do a 5 mile TT along a storm barrier (100 kph last year).

These days, I give it best at about 20 mph, apart from going to meet the mates at the pub (8 miles), but I used to treat wind as a good workout and entertainment. I think the record for one ride was 7 trees down, mostly smallish, but one proper sized tree (18" trunk) that hadn't been there on the way out.
