The wind has, on occasion, pushed me about two yards backwards as I stood up to start pedalling away from a stoplight. It has also made pedalling down a pretty steep hill difficult.
It's the same with any coastal town, but I suppose amplified slightly by the fact that we are the first port of call for any wind blowing in from the Pacific Ocean.
