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

It's not either or, but how much of either. I've ridden in winds well over 30mph, and ridden in 2"/hour downpours, and both are near the threshold of tolerance. If I had to choose between either of those it would be the rain. But I'd prefer a 15mph headwind to a long ride in typical steady rain.

BTW- a big factor in how I feel about rain is the temperature. Summer rain of any volume is pretty OK, cold rain in November is miserable, even if it;s only a drizzle.

So, for me, wind vs. rain is an apples vs oranges comparison.
