hehe windshadow

When Rik pisses into the wind, the wind changes direction

Sorry for being boring.... I learnt this great tip from Skoota after almost being blown away into a car: keep your wrists loose but a tight hand grip so you have much more control.

Rik it the only person to have a 360 degree windshadow. The wind it too scared.

Please keep it on topic, we are talking about riding bikes.

Rik has a greater effect on tides that the moon. FACT.

You forgot the French Ticklers

Rik doesn't have wrists as they are a weakness

Is there any techniques to avoid this issue ?

ride faster. get drops and use them.

failing that, get off and walk.

You need a fairing on your bike.

So that it can beat it's wings to keep you upright?

oh dear.....

Rik doesn't actually know how to ride a bike. The bike just gets the hell on with it if it know's what's good for it.

They were on top of my Mac for a bit, I binned them on Wednesday I didn't want to scare the cleaner...

I just totally relax. Let the wind take you and the bike and don't fight it too much. If the bike wants to lean let it, and lean yourself gently the other way. Fighting it and gripping your handlebars tightly makes you go wobbly and stresses you out.

I'm with Rik, I too ride that bridge every day with a front spok, head down, hold the bars tight and HTFU!
