Due to viscous drag, wind speed is much lower near the ground. On flat
windy rides, I have passed many a better rider on my lowracer due to
this effect.

Here is a Dutch bicycle that is sensible for their flat, windy
conditions:

Pride, anger, gluttony, lust, envy, greed and sloth are enough to keep
me busy!

Here is the bicycle for you then, since it offers a sloth-like riding
position: <http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/costin/Monky1.jpg>.

Tom, back then us cool kids were into the Apollo 11 mission.
The guys that were into deep-sea submersible stuff never
really scored with the hotties at school.

Just an observation of mine, don't spend too much time
worrying about it.

How do you know?

Okay, I won't.

In my day, the guys who /really/ scored with the hotties
at school were into Arts classes. The Occies
(Occupational/shop) guys who were a step away from being
relegated to Vancouver Tech were at the bottom of the
social barrel.

The Acedemics were just nerds who had no idea of what was
going on in real life as they memorized the Mendelev
Atomic Chart. The Artsies sold the best hash. The Occies
could get your Vauxhall working again, at least enough to
get you home -- sometimes. And the jox wanted to kill you
during a boisterous game of Rugby. Basketball was considered
a girl's game. At school assemblies we had to sing "O Canada
at the beginning and "God Save the Queen"[*] at the end.

Then there were the Bible readings & reciting of the
Christrian prayer at the beginning of every school day.


cheers,
Tom


[*] A lot of people don't even realize HRM is also the
Queen of Canada, albeit in a formal sense.
