Hmm. Not sure how you'd do this. If the wind don't get you going there it'll get you on the way back, unless you take the bus on the way home. Here in Toronto and surround municipalities buses do have bike rack on the front onto which you can put your bike.
Dealing with the wind sucks/blows, but one way you can mitigate its effects is using the drops on a road bike. It can make a huge difference.
