Ok, you’ve all heard the saying “your knees in the breeze” or “wind therapy.” The thing is, riding in very windy conditions is not a lot of fun. It can make you feel like you are being sandblasted and can even make a short ride exhausting. You must fight to keep the bike going where you want it to go.
You must lean into the wind to stay in a straight line and be prepared to react if the wind changes or gets blocked. Wind can also try to take your helmet off your head, so you end up hunched over to be more aerodynamic. A windshield may help when going into a head-on wind, but it can also act as a sail depending on its size and shape; this is something non-riders or new riders don’t think about.
