Yeah, strangely enough, bike commuting in a major city.
Cape Town South Africa, is famous for its winds. I didn't know this. I'm based in San Francisco and had to go there for a business trip.
Several guys I work with there, who live there, lended me a bike to ride back and forth from my hotel to the office.
i swear to god, 60 mph winds are not out of the ordinary there. Look it up.
i never fell, per se, but I was at a point where I simply could not ride forward. I could barely walk to be honest.
