I really don't mind about what the wind speed is for riding as far exertion, it's that with my narrow roads and not being able to have full control over the steering in the swirls and gusts it's not worth it. My Frankin bike with lower trail handles fairly well in any wind, the Bombadil can be downright scary at times as in a high cross wind I'm a mere passenger, wherever the winds blows ..... so blows the bike and I and it's non-negotiable. I've been "driven" many a times. This would be fun off road and in open land but I have no such place around here to ride. On such days I go for walk in the hills that I walk in the winter. On top of the highest hill in summer is rather fun as the wind is highest up there. In the winter I don't ride and when we get lake effect micro snow squalls I go up there and with layer upon layer of hills watching it all unfold is priceless and indescribable..... I laugh like a little kid the whole time. It's like a living portrait, completely alive ! There is dog that lives on that hill in home that was originally built by my uncle in the 70's. Since I can recall every time she is outside and sees me she gallops like a horse with big grin on her face in eager anticipation of walking with me around the neighborhood. That's Shelby girl !
