All we are is dust in the wind

We have eyelashes for days like this. From downtown to Vermont Avenue I never stopped squinting, as the Santa Ana wind pelted dust and leaves and shreds of paper and plastic from every direction. Eddies and miniature tornadoes flung litter into my spokes, and my teeth were chalky with grit by the time I got home.
Riding in the rain can be a dangerous adventure, but riding in the wind is just sheer misery.
I guess I could just wear goggles, look like a geek, but keep my vision. Or does anybody have a better solution?

Riding a bike is liberation.
It’s getting around on your own power, and more. It's a symbol of anything you do to become more independent. If you want it to, bicycling will constantly challenge your limits, physically and mentally.
This blog is about pushing your limits. It’s not a bicycle fanatic’s rant against cars. It’s a rant against yourself, and whatever limits you. -
