Back on topic... <cough> We had some serious wind the other day, and I took a midday ride to the store about 1/2 mile away. Going there was against the wind, and it was hard and cold. Coming back, I was sailing along with the tailwind, and it felt much warmer besides.

That didn't go well for you the last time you tried it!

i think it matters, but disagree with their precise calculations and the re-use of the Celcius/F scale...
-36 no wind is sure NOT the same as a "real" (no wind) -36...

you can do many things to minimise the wind chill! proper lane positionning is the best i've read so far :)
maybe, i should "bike-pool" with a friend so we rotate in front...

you betcha. Even on a chilly , damp Calif. morning. Going down a hill at 32 mph, with the damp fog out. That 42 degrees feels like 28.

I'm certainly not affected by the windshield factor ! ;-)

Cheers.

Rainforest Schmainforest :p

Well, they tried once nearby Chateauguay in Quebec but it went so bad that they didn't bother to redo. After that they tried once in southern Ontario and it was not too bad so they tried a third time, again in southern Ontario. Three times all in all. None succeeded ;-)

Cheers.

If I remember well (my history is pretty rusty), didn't we burn down the White House to thank the Americans for their efforts? And, if memory serves, that was the last time Canada was invaded.
