I live in Western Illinois and do most of my riding near my house. There are hills and trees but most of it’s wide open and the wind can beat you to death. I estimate I’ve taken 170 rides on my e bike. I’d say two of those were a dead calm. So the following is my feel for the wind when I ride.
Dead calm: spectacular riding, a must ride day and very rare
0-5 mph: still great riding but you do feel it
5-10 mph: not bad, very common in this area, the wind is somewhat annoying though
10-15 mph: also common around here and the wind is annoying
15-20 mph: also not uncommon and the wind is starting to take the fun out of it.
over 20 mph: I leave the bike in the garage, it makes for a miserable ride
