Yes, he looks like he's struggling a bit. Nice capture.

Holy mackeral, he looks like he's really huffing too. Great catch and I'm glad it wasn't me...

When the winds blows out of the west every time you pass a side street it blows your car out of the lane. This wind was coming out of the north so it was blowing right down the boulevard into his face.

Thanks for looking

I love the expression on his face! And yet it appears the newspaper in the basket is untouched!

[Sparkie1263]

I was looking at the newspaper too. But if you look at his sweatshirt on hih right arm you can see it is blowing.

Thanks for looking

The pleasures or discomforture of others, what would we do without them.
You nailed this one Frank, poor cyclist is certainly getting a workout into that force 8.

Well seen and captured. Headwinds suck!

Tail winds though...great fun! Sometimes we get 70mph winds here and I've gone up the hills on my bike to get a really fast run back down Side winds on bumpy terrain can be interesting on a bike too...if a wheel loses contact with the ground for even a moment the bike goes sideways! Change of lane? More like a change of underwear
