I live in NW OKC (The Village to be exact). Very cool- we're neighbors!!!
Riding in Edmond is brave, indeed! You must live fairly close to the college/downtown area if you ride to the Library. Anytime I see someone on a bike using it for utilitarian purposes around here I get VERY excited!

Yes- the wind is definitely something to contend with on a daily basis. No hills- but I think I'd rather have hills than constantly blowing wind. At least with hills you get stronger and get to coast- I've yet to get stronger riding into the wind.
