Windiest city?
I would like to take a poll of sorts. I have lived in many places, and I'm thinking that Salt Lake/Utah counties are about the windiest place I've ever biked.
Right now...for Salt Lake it says "gusty" winds 17mph. However, I just got in from a lunchtime ride...and I KNOW it's blowing harder than that. For those that ride...if you board mail me the city you live in...I'll keep stats for a about a month...and I'll let you know who rides in "The Windiest City".

Here's wind data for here for every day in April. This is calculated on a 24 hour cycle, including nighttime data: Direction/ AvgWind/ MaxWind
There were a couple of days when I was blown all over the road, but then I'm a smallish person. |

Can you find the data from Las Vegas or Henderson, Nevada.

Holy cow! I had no idea Gotham City was so windy. The movies always make it look cool and calm. Its a wonder the clouds stick around long enough to make a clear bat signal.

Yes. That's on our western border and in fact marks the start of Las Vegas.

Where are you getting your data? Nice. I swear, the wind blows through the Salt Lake valley every day to the disgust of cyclists everywhere!
