Our Enemy the Wind, is my friend

Would the sail work if the wind is blowing in your face? So if the wind direction is coming from where you are heading, how would you adjust the sail to gain pushing force?

Doesn't really work, you always have to go at some angle relative to the wind. You can sail at an angle somewhat into the wind but not directly, so when sailing sometimes you will have to zigzag to reach your destination.

I believe tacking up wind is what you're talking about. Remember, people sailed the globe and I bet the wind was not always at their backs.

No way Jose! I will not sacrifice essential space (storage/protection) for pedals.
