If I lived in Aucks, then windy day only. It becomes Munter Central when it rains.

I would rather ride in the wind but only because my helmet leaks past the visor.

If u wanna ride then just ride, as long as you have the experience to do so safely. I personally would rather in the rain as my bike is quite light and a little less grunty down low so getting out of a tricky situation can be.. well, tricky. And as long as the temperature is decent. I just can't do cold, mostly cause I don't have the correct gear at this time.Originally Posted by SteveJoll

Sorry missed the HAVE TO part. By that do you mean have to as in a deep inner craving that needs to be fulfilled or don't you have a choice?

Ditto.
I commute daily no matter the weather. In all my commuting since 1982 I have only once stayed home due to wind. And one other time I just happened to need the car when the Auckland harbour bridge was oscillating by a couple of meters vertically due to wind.

Um, first line says it all. You have to ride in the next two days so obviously the answer is to go out on day one. Or you can't go in on day 2.
Getting less pedantic. My logic for any weather related question is ride day one. Day two could be worse and then you have missed your opportunity to have ridden on day one. Then ride day 2 anyway. Rinse and repeat.
I have missed 2 days of riding in >20 years. One was because trucks were getting rolled over by the wind. The other was because electrical storms mixed with high winds were forecast all day, so I organised to work from home. Sunniest day all winter. Gutted I didn't at least get to ride to work.
Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

So noone should ride until they have experience?
