For your abilities or just general comfort level, when do you think it is to windy to ride? Seeing as how this is my first full summer of riding, I find that almost the slightest breeze has me grabbing the grips a bit tighter on the road. I'm getting a bit more comfortable as I fine tune my balance, but when I see the flags snapping in the breeze out the window, I get a bit worried about my ride home.

Good question. WHen you're knee-dragging while straight-lining.... it may be too windy.

When debris knocks you into the next lane... it may be too windy.

:lol:

Seriously though, I think it's a matter of what you're comfortable with. Gusts can be scary, moving you all over. I've had to lean my bike to keep it going straight in some Arizona dust storms.
