I took my life in my hands and went for a walk this afternoon... nearly got hit by several twigs while in the woods and the waves on the lake when I got there were truly impressive... literally several inches high.
Wasn't too bad when i left for work, then about half way there the wind really started suddenly gusting and twice nearly chucked me into the path of oncoming artic' lorries.The second time it happened the wind rapidly changed direction a few times and it must've looked like i was riding in and out of cones to compensate.

Anyone make the mistake of covering the bike and making a sail for the wind to blow it over for you.

FFS Darrsi! it was a gale man, where your artistic licence? Big it up mate, tell us how you were at full throttle in forth heading up the high street and still only making 15 mph against the wind and how the double decker blew over on its side as it was waiting at the lights. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
