Hey! Yes, it's windy in Texas. I live in Dallas.
I have been blown off my bike once this year. It was scary and I could have gotten hurt. Luckily the fatty part of my leg took the brunt of the fall. Mind you, it took 2 months for that soft tissue to stop hurting though.
I will ride in winds up to 25 mph, but anything over that just scares me too much these days. Being out by the wind once, is enough for me.
