The bad thing was, the way the wind was breaking on my chest, somehow came up under my helmet. It felt like someone ran and jump kicked me in the head while trying to knock me off the back of the bike. I never knew the wind could catch under you helmet and rip your head back so hard. I was able to maintain control, but figured many people learn this just before dying on a bike. I am not an avid rider, but grew up with bikes and my friends had bikes. No one had ever explained to me this can happen. So if your going fast for the first time, keep your chin down and dont let the wind catch it!
