As others have said, you'll get used to it. Experience and muscle memory will kick in and you'll have added another useful skill to your commuter skill set. Strong head and cross winds are par for the course here in the Bay Area, so I don't even think anything of them much any more.


I did fine, I just never rode in conditions like this...So I was a little nervous. It was a good experience, now I know I can manage the strong winds. Like you said adds to my skill set!

I was trying to catch a tail wind...but all cross today. People were looking at me like I was crazy! Then again I am a little bit!

You know what really sucks is when the wind shifts and you have to fight it, both going out and on the return trip!

That is too funny....I Know that guy!!! He was real good at one time then he just went nuts! Holy Crap. You know Dave Chapman too? He is fun to see play! Great player! 8 time world champ.
