Good for those with a bike commute given the phrase, "cyclists understand gravity, but not wind resistance"
- m0nty 11y ago> "cyclists understand gravity, but not wind resistance" I can assure you that cyclists very much do understand wind resistance.
- therobot24 11y agoit's more or less a joke, where hills are praised but wind is cursed
- m0nty 11y agoI missed the joke :( Hills are more rewarding, I suppose because they end and you get to come down them for almost no effort. There's that other joke about getting a headwind on the outward journey, which is still a headwind when you come back. When you are lucky enough to get a tailwind, it's an amazing feeling.
- tacticus 11y agoI live in an area with prevailing winds from the northeast in the morning and southwestish in the evening. Headwinds both ways are my life :(
- branchless 11y agoI hate the wind when I cycle because the hill is just there, it's not going away, whereas the wind is fighting me when it might not be there.
