I think it has to do with your location. Say you are out touring and you are in the plains out in the middle of nowhere. You are now the highest object around. But if you are in the city or suburbs, there are telephone poles, buildings, etc. that are higher than you.
BTW - what kind of bike did you ride?
EDIT - did the conversion, 84 mph winds?!?!
