The best was last week going out in 36Kts (41mph/67kph) gales with very strong gusts at 53kts (60mph/98kph).  I went down to my local harbour (so got the wind coming off the sea), and  fought against it, with it and everything in between. Felt like surfing on dry land. Highly recommend it. My white back guard came off, blew away and into the sea before I could grab it. Hence the black back end atm. Have realised my maximum  wind speed I can safely ride in is the 50Kts range any higher and I get blown around too much to control.

Wind still gives me a pretty mean workout. I recall a time when some of us were arguing about wind. It seems some people are impervious to it. Kinda sounds like you arent one of those. You definitely  got a little use out of that thing so far.

Instructions Unclear: Item was used as soccer ball.

Dam that tire is almost smooth as baby but.

Can see it's been used quite well. Keep on riding.
