Have you been winded?

I had recently got a new bicycle so that I can begin commuting the 6 miles to work. I went out today to do a 6-mile run (3 out and back) on it. On my last mile to go, I was hit by such a strong wind that I couldn't continue riding. So I walked the rest of the way back, actually able to take a shortcut through a field that I hadn't taken on my way out.

While I was walking, I looked the bike over and had noticed that the rear fender had come loose, making it not ridable anyway. I'm not sure if the wind had caused that fender to come lose, but it's most likely as it was a strong wind. Looking back, there are gusts up to 35 mph, and on a bicycle this is something. It was also a cold front.

I live in San Antonio, so I can't complain since we don't even have snow. Well, I actually laughed it off when I thought of being winded.

I used to ride my bike to college last semester through New York city. It would be about a twenty minute bike ride and I would be tired since I try to get to school fast. Anyways it broke down about three times and there was about a couple of flat tires during the semester . I take the train and bus now and it's less of a hassle, most of the days the wind would blast me and it would be a pain to ride.
