The Wind in the Willows

Categories: Riding

This is about wind. A very particular type of wind – the cross-wind. Any other sort of wind is your problem, not mine, OK? Winter is coming, and I've heard and seen a lot of comment to the effect that riding in cross-winds worries people. Not unreasonably, as there's little more unsettling than suddenly and unexpectedly being propelled sideways across a couple of lanes of highway. Or across one lane of highway and into a hedge. But there are things that can be done to make life that little bit easier and more predictable.
