10k,12mph,45 degree lean angle.... not an easy ride this morning and now it's raining too! Ah well, a generous application of rules #5 and #9 should do the trick!Muddy Fox Hardtail Circa 1998

A box of bits that will make a fine Harry Hall when I get round to it.

You really have to start thinking about options when the weather turns like this.
Safety is paramount and one gust and you are under a truck.Yellow is the new Black.0 -

Yep... Decided to leave the bike at work tonight and managed to get a lift back home.... Don't think it's worth being blown into the traffic.0

Went in before the rush hour - a little hairy but the wind wasn't as strong as it became later in the morning. Aside from the hill right outside my house it wasn't too bad and mostly downwind (though not a particularly fast commute overall).Faster than a tent.......0

Not really much you can do about the wind. However there are risks in most aspects of life so just keep on doing it. Also nice bike you have:
