I rode home in that about noontime (2/17/06). I had shingles,vinyl siding and tree limbs flying past me. I had crosswinds for most the way home. What really scared me was down power lines along the way and how I had to lean the bike during high gust of wind. I tell you at one point I think could touch the ground with my left hand. I had a death grip on the bars most of the way home.
