Did 20 miles against the wind and could only do 10-13mph.
Sudden wind gusts at up to 20 would stop me and I could only do 10-11 mph. and
made me have some concerns about finishing my planned ride
my experience has been similar to this. 12-15 mph slow me to a crawl. Gusts over 20 stop the show on hills.
At 130 lbs (not counting the bike) cross winds above 20 blow me sideways. OK on the country roads, not in traffic.
