Riding in high winds

[jefflthomas]

rode home, faster you go the more the gyroscopic effect of your wheels and engine comes into effect.

the increased inertia of a bike at a higher speed does compensate for external forces

don't remember the equation...something about mass X velocity...bike's heavier


btw...rode the about 200km home against that wind Wednesday...the gusts were interesting...LOL

Rode both wind days, Tuesday had high winds but down near lake ontario it was calm and beautiful. I did a waterfront trail ride all the way out to Ganonoque, 600 km round trip, was awesome. Wind only scares me when it is wet, makes my sphincter tight.

I was wondering why I was shifting and swaying so much on the roads. I thought it was just scarborough roads as usual.
