The Wind is your Friend

Most cyclists hate headwinds. When stops signs shake in the gale and traffic signals sway, these riders often leave the bike in the garage. But wind is a great fitness device. Even if you don't have hills to improve your fitness, riding hard into the wind adds resistance and improves your power. And when you turn around, you'll fly back home when the headwind becomes a tailwind.
