I need a cauliflower for dinner (and a few other odds and sods).

I don't want to drive to the shop because fuel costs are bonkers (thanks, twotsit) and, anyway, it's only 6 miles. Also, we need to take the car out later for archery.

But it's a NErly gusting to 70km/h out there, and with panniers on a fixed gear that sounds particularly unfun.

Should I don my big pants? Or is discretion the better part of valour, especially in pneumonia recovery? #decisions #BikeTooter

@ravenbait sounds like the kind of situation where I'll swear to myself that I'll finally invest in an ebike, but I'm really bad about actually spending money on myself so I don't

@trainguyrom Yeah, the being poorly/recovering from serious illness part of #UtilityCycling is where an e-bike would be super handy! Wouldn't stop me being blown off into a hedge (or under a tractor) though.

I wish I could tell when the windfarm on the hill over the road was stopped because it's too windy, and when it's because there's no capacity for the electricity it would be producing. I think "too windy for a windfarm" is probably a good measure for cycling.
