When going back (commuting from work), headwind is not a problem. I'm in no hurry. It is a nuisance, but not a problem. Winds can get pretty strong here, but not as strong as to stop you from riding - no hurricanes. Also, they tend to blow strong along Danube (river) bed, so no changing direction (i.e. getting headwind both ways!).
P.S. I hope these posts don't anger the wind gods and make us all regret!
