I'm trying to figure out what conditions are 'un-cycleable' due to either it taking too much effort to pedal forward or being blown into traffic!
What sort of clothing helps against wind in your experience?
I got caught up on a mountain pass in the middle of a typhoon when touring once. Ended up hiding under a bridge for a while. No idea what the actual wind speeds were, but there were trees falling down and I was a little concerned about getting killed. I was lucky I didn't get caught in a landslide or something. The road ~5-10 miles ahead of where I hid out was taken out by that one.
These days I make sure to check the weather on my cell phone as I move along.
