Two-wheeled vehicles are particularly vulnerable to strong winds. This lesson explains how crosswinds and gusts can push you off course and upset your balance. You will learn proactive techniques to manage these effects, such as anticipating windy spots (e.g., bridges, gaps between buildings), adjusting your body position to be more aerodynamic, and applying subtle counter-steering inputs to maintain a straight line. A relaxed grip on the handlebars is key to letting the bike move slightly underneath you.
