However, if you then immediately turn around and ride the other way, you'll soon notice the difference. Of course, the wind does sometimes change direction, which makes it even more fun.
The wind is definitely changing directions at the end of my day on most days. It has been very windy here lately too, as in small trees bending over pretty far. I had wondered if it was my speed, but even at intersections and stop lights, it is still bending, and like I said, the trees are blowing like crazy too.
Ah well... Guess it is all good in the end as long as it stays warm!
On another note...I biked out to visit my parents today, and my father asked me what I was going to do when winter came. I replied, "Get studded tires", to which my step-mother responded, "I want to run over people who ride their bikes in the winter"!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't even bother trying to explain it to her. I just asked her to please not run me over!
