Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Ridden against may be stretching the definition of "riding", but I've fought headwinds over 40mph with some gusts above that. Actually, IME strong crosswinds, especially gusty ones are much more of a problem then steady headwinds (if you don't mind feeling like you're climbing the Alps).
