Heh. I've been skipping out on the bike commutes lately because of 20-30MPH crosswinds. Going in, they're left-to-right during the climb on the (wide and usually clean) shoulder of a 45MPH road, meaning any break in the wind leaves me pulling myself into traffic. Coming home, they're right to left, so any break in the wind leaves me lurching toward the edge of the same overpass with a rail just high enough to smack my shin going over.
