Following the news today from Northwest London, does anyone have any
hits and tips if an unexpected tornado should strike when cycling
peacfully down the street?

Steer clear of dogs called Toto ;-)

Hopefully the dangerous dogs act has dealt with the nasty little mutt.

Tornadoes are so uncommon and so localised that planning is probably futile.

Diving for cover makes sense in any strong wind.

I am totally unscathed, sitting 5 miles from Kensal Rise.

If you wind up somewhere far away, just bang your cleats together and
you'll be home in no time.

No, but you can be sure it will be blowing against the way you're
trying to go

Only on one side, so you use the other side to propel you home quicker :-)

Ah, the mythical cyclist's tail wind! ;-)

no my SO had a tail wind pushing her along on her ride to work the other
day, okay its almost always a head wind but still it can happen....

I said:

Tomorrow's planned ride should have a tail wind all the way from
Aylesbury to Cambridge to Bury St. Edmunds, but the last bit coming
home could well be into the teeth of a gale.

Got round, but out of time. GPS track uploaded to
<http://maps.innersource.com/project/map/2690>. Possible ride report
later. :-)

Ah the SO's tail wind tale. The cycling equivalent of the fisherman's
fish he let go. ;-)

around to be sure that head wind is allways there...
