Try touring fully loaded with four panniers and a tent strapped to the back of your bike. You don't nothin' about wind until you have. Crosswinds are the worst from a bike handling perspective. The nice thing is that when it's directly behind you, you can really move. During a 20 mile stretch through the flats of north central Montana I sustained 32.5 mph riding a loaded touring bike. I finally spent too much time in the red and had to dial it back to 28 mph. Talk about fun.
