  4. Wind plays a major role in cycling, since aerodynamic drag is the greatest force hampering a cyclist. In road racing, both individual cyclists and teams use tactics that vary based on the wind speed and direction. Crosswinds — when the apparent wind comes from the side in the cyclist’s point of view — are some of the toughest conditions to deal with. In races, groups will often form echelons to minimize the group’s overall effort in a crosswind. Alternatively, racers looking to tire their competitors out will position themselves on the road so that the rider behind them gets little to no shelter from the wind; this is known as guttering an opponent.

    In this study, researchers put a lone cyclist in a wind tunnel and measured the effects of crosswind from a pure headwind to a pure tailwind and every possible angle in between. From that variation, they were able to mathematically model the aerodynamic effects of crosswind on a cyclist from every angle. With rolling resistance (a cyclist’s second largest opposing force) included, they found relatively few conditions where a crosswind actually helped a cyclist. Most of the time — as any cyclist can tell you — hiding from the wind is beneficial. (Image credit: J. Dylag; research credit: C. Clanet et al.)
