I find it's easier to push into the wind on a SS- there is no wussin' out, you have to attack. I live south of the city and there is usually a prevailing wind out of the south, so just about every ride I do finishes with a 7-10 mile ride into the wind. I always do it faster on the SS than on a geared bike because wussin' out is not an option.
