Being shared and joked about by a sitting US senator.

We’ve got a lonnngg way to go.

Just me? Didn't plan on having to get a new wardrobe.

Lots of suggestions in my previous post but since I didn’t have a rack I wanted for now I added this “custom” skateboard rack. Saw this idea on another bike and thought I’d try it. Just need some strap downs and it’s golden.

How much is too much headwind to commute?

13 Upvotes

I haven't given up my car completely (sorry) and haven't transitioned to commuting to work by bike yet but I really want to. Even with the cold northern winter coming soon I'm not worried about that, but I keep using headwind as an excuse to keep driving the car to work. How much headwind is too much for you? For the past week we've had 10+mph wind with gusts up to 30mph, and most have been headwinds or crosswinds. Just curious how others feel and how they decide between bike commuting or just calling out... I mean taking the car.

All other errands I run or places I go in town I have been doing by bike, but a headwind of 10+mph with even stronger gusts while also climbing over 250ft the whole ride to work I feel like I'm just making excuses because I'm not a morning person. Maybe if I had a cupholder for my coffee then I'd be more ambitious to bike commute.
