Getting to the top of one of the hills on my route, index finger poised to change to the large chainring and the wind hit me over the brow. I had to go down the cassette instead.

I decided to cheat and take the bus most of the way, after waiting half an hour I was beginning to think I made a mistake, but the bus turned up at that point. Later when riding on the flat into the wind at 6mph I decided that it's ok to be lazy sometimes.

got blown into a bollard outside work this morning, and without me holding on, the wind would have had all 11kg of bike up in the air. only damage was chain off, bizarre rear wheel deflation, and knock to elbow.
wind still bad, so bike left at work and now on train home...

Slight wardrobe malfunction, where I have a hole in my leggings but I have been rubbing it against the seat all the way there and back.
Nice big red raw skin on my thigh!

Oh dear, I thought you just meant the wind was painful! Better get some soothing cream on it quick!

Bit blowy on way back, and traffic worst I've ever seen it, presumbly everyone was panicing about a bit of white stuff coming out of the sky so all left the office at 3pm. Glad I wasn't in it.Just learnt that a friend who also works in Bradford is still sat in it, in that time, I have travelled 9 miles, walked the dog and showered!

The wind wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting tonight, though I did have another bloody puncture, second this year already! Think it is time to retire the tyre, done just shy of 13,000 miles on it, so can't really complain
