  Mywindsock.com - once you get over the idea that it's about old men uploading photos of their reusable condoms, it's a useful site for planning rides, although a lot of the low level wind detail is estimated, i.e. In a 1 mile section through buildings or trees it's not going to pick up on all of the gusts and changes in wind direction you encounter in realtime.

• Do vegans breastfeed their children?

  Eating plant based is pretty straightforward. The only thing you absolutely make sure you're getting through supplements or fortified food is B12.
