Yesterday (although not a commute) I rode 20 miles in 28mph winds with gusts of 50mph. I was a little nervous about it and planned to take it slow and ride a shorter distance. Once I got going I focused on the wind on my face and let muscle memory work on my legs. This helped me relax and simply ride. I will note that this was through neighborhoods and on a bike trail rather than city streets.

In these kind of winds I do recommend caution regardless. Only you really know what you are comfortable with in regards to weather conditions.
