I've invested in a bit of bike 'bling' and got a set of 50mm deep rim wheels and haven't tested them in anything too windy. With forecasted gusts of 35-40mph, has anyone had experience riding these types of wheels in windy conditions? Should I stick the Zondas back on, or risk it? I'm 80kg btw.</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16617#post-224927 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 20:22:22 +0000 resurf 224927@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The blustery weather today reminded me that McDonald Road could take some beating in a "windiest road in Edinburgh" contest - any other contenders out there?</p> <p>I have, obviously, no scientific data of any sorts... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12413#post-145845 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:23:18 +0000 cc 145845@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>... for tomorrow, Thursday 20/03/2014:</p> <p><a href="http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/Scotland/Edinburgh/">http://www.yr.no/place/United_Kingdom/Scotland/Edinburgh/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10608#post-116326 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:54:10 +0000 nevelbell 116326@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The great thing about living east of work, on windy days like today, you travel at the speed of light! </p> <p>The down side is obvious. Hey ho! Like my cycling mentore told me "the wind is your friend. Head down, low gear, it's perfect training!" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=86#post-230 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 11:59:30 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 230@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Now this is a different matter to cycling in the rain. I know a lot of die-hard cyclists who left the bike at home today. Not that I was one of them. Foolhardy? Perhaps, but the pedestrians seemed to be struggling with their brollies more than I was with the bike.</p> <p>AND it <em>should</em> be a tailwind going home... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8363#post-83677 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 11:51:21 +0000 lionfish 83677@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The forecast this morning said something about gales this afternoon?</p> <p><a href="http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/abs/Weathercam/station/hour.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/abs/Weathercam/station/hour.html</a></p> <p>(edit: that might have been for the highlands though, met office says nothing about it).</p> <p>(edit 2: 24-hours looks nicer... <a href="http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/abs/Weathercam/station/24hours.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/abs/Weathercam/station/24hours.html</a> ) </p>
