Also, maybe you need to evaluate what is on you and your bike that might be creating a sail. Nalian, who perhaps is too embarassed to admit it, figured out that at high speeds the wind would grab her jacket through the open vents and pull her around.

I've never experienced winds shifting direction by 180 degrees. I'm sure it's possible in some cities with big buildings funneling the wind, but elsewhere?

Still, gusts and finding wind sheer follow the same procedure as constant wind, you just adjust sooner :wink:
