I was riding over the AHB from the North Shore to Central Auckland this morning around 9am. The traffic was unusually heavy for that time, and while I was at the bridge apex it came to a complete stand still.
What a bonus. The view was great. But the wind - it was very blustery. While the bike is moving it doesn't seem so bad, but being stationery at the top of of the bridge was very notcable. The bike was being pushed from side to side.
Now I think I can appreciate what it is like for the Wellingtonians who have to deal with their bikes being blown over while parked.
Funny how the effects of the wind seems worse while being stationary.
