To start, I live in Kansas, so there's that. If you don't ride when the wind's over 30, you miss a lot of days. Fortunately, trees and development abates the brunt of it. My worst wind experience was on the road right at the end of the longest Wichita airport runway. A gust blew me sideways into the curb. I had to aim downwind to get the bike going again. I checked the weather log for the airport and at the time of my incident, it reported 52 mph wind speed. I kept riding in the crosswind, bailing as soon as I could find a more sheltered road in the vicinity.
