    Echelon!

    Yesterday’s gusts weren’t much fun for me. Wind I don’t mind (well, unless I’m whinging on lap 5 at Hains Point), but the unexpected gusts in traffic? Not.fun.at.all.

    Oh my gosh — is the bike actually blowing away from him (I can’t read Dutch so I don’t know what the caption says)? At least he’s smiling.

    +1, Mark — I was worried I would run into a pedestrian on the Key Bridge and Custis. I actually did something I’ve never done, I yelled a more emphatic warning at a pedestrian I was overtaking on the bridge who didn’t heed my first warning. I wasn’t upset or angry at her; I was genuinely concerned for her safety. She was walking right down the middle; maybe because she was also fighting the wind and didn’t want to go too far one way or the other.

    Great video!

    Pete and I and a few others did a ride on Saturday that somewhat resembled this. The wind was literally pushing us almost clear across to the other side of the road. Fine on lightly traveled roads but not so much fun with traffic.
