I had such strong winds that I had to go to the lowest gear and was barely moving.
To go faster that walking speed I had to take my backpack from my luggage tack onto my back, thereby putting more weight on the pedals.
Sometime last year it was so windy that I was actually getting pushed into traffic and had to wheel my bike home.
I had the same thing happen to me last year. I left late for a 15 mile ride into the city to see a silent film so I refused to get off and walk it. I was stuck in first the whole time. Once I got into the forest it was better, but by then the damage was done and I was completely obliterated by the time I got to the theater.
