Real cyclists know if there’s any wind at all, it’s never tailwind.

- antod 3y agoYeah I felt that one. But it actually makes sense. Due to the apparent wind (adding the vectors of wind and bike velocities together), and drag being proportional to the square of velocity, you will seldom feel a tailwind and headwinds will be amplified. And this spread widens the faster you ride, even turning lighter tailwinds into a headwind.
