Headwinds suck. Strong headwinds suck bad.

Perhaps you should ease your way into bicycle commuting. On a cool, clear day it's easy to ride your bike back and forth. Drive your car to class (or wherever) if the weather's bad. After a while you can make a bike trip while it's hot and you're sweating, and it's no big deal. Later you can deal with a light shower, and chilly weather, and eventually even a headwind.

It took me a couple months before I was willing to try riding a bike to work. It took a couple years before cycling became my default commute. If you make it an all or nothing decision, you run the risk of ending up with ... nothing.
