Me riding my bike out, with the wind at my back: Ha ha! Fuck yeah! Yes!
Me riding back: Well, this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

@gknauss It could always be worse... you could have intentionally started your ride into the wind, planning on an easy return leg, and then the wind switches direction on you as you return.

@gknauss e-bike: wind at your back both ways

@gknauss This is why I bought an e-bike. In Chicago, you’re always riding into the wind.

@gknauss @cthulku The worst! One time on my way home from work, the wind was blowing so hard that I had to peddle down a hill. I was so irrationally angry, like the wind was blaspheming against how bikes are supposed to work 😂

@gknauss treat wind like another hill. Just a really long, unpredictable hill. 😂
