I also braved the wind, but only on a short ride into/around town. Also lots of swearing, but for a different reason - coming down Theatre Street towards St Stephens; not one pedestrian, not two, not three, but FOUR stepped out blind from one side of the road, only matched by the, not one, but TWO women WITH PRAMS step out blind from the other side. Everyone joined in the middle, including me shouting "FUCKING HELL" right in a babies face, somehow managing the squeeze through an invisible gap between them all. Could have been absolutely devastating. Ultimate justification for running a brake.
