TJ- I noticed from your blog you have a Townie. You bike is probably double or more the weight of this guys light racing style bike. He was also riding on a road in Austin that is notorious for strong crosswinds, the road was made by blasting through large hills ala I-10 in West Texas.

Try riding in the wind in a safe area (bike path, neighborhood?) and see how riding in the wind feels. It isn't a "No way!" but I think it is much less likely on a Townie.

BTW- Post a picture of your bike. I have complete Townie envy!
