A question for all you experienced riders.
Build picture for you: Riding whereever. Very windy.
I know we've discussed the effects of wind on the bike but..... I head into a bend and tip the bike over (using my newfound fancy countersteer I might add :-)
A gust of wind hits the bike from the low side and the sensation is that the bike is going to lowside. Is this just sensation or is there a real risk of the ending up sliding down the road? Problem is I tend to panic and stand the bike back up which is obviously not good mid-bend. I nearly hit the footpath last night doing this.
Should I back off/stand the bike up or carry on gunning it?
