I've said it before here and i'll say it again; this bike loves wind!
Yesterday we had a steady 18 mph wind here from the NW. I took my IA16, with training wheels, out on a 33 mile course that went 1.5 miles north then turned west and turned around at 16.5. Into the wind this thing tacked like a sailboat. Coming home it flew. Coming back, I stopped at a light with a young guy on a beautiful BMC road bike with 404s. He shook his head and said ''man, that wind is blowing me around''. I never felt a thing and coming back with the wind hitting my left hip, the bike was flying.
I rode my road bike on the same route on Thursday. I know that comparing the two rides is like apples and grapefruits but.............Saturday on the IA I was 15 minutes faster over 33.1 miles!
