Freaky thing happened to me on my ride last night. 20mph headwinds (very proud that I kept my 16mph pace) with a sudden wind shift and gust of maybe 40mph (per the news) straight line that totally blew my bike out from under me!!!!!. Seriously a guy who came to help me said I didn't tip over. He watched my bike shift to parallel with the ground then drop straight down. Fortunately I was riding the edge of a bike path so I mostly hit grass. Bumps, bruises and some dings on my bike but nothing bent. Seriously, I felt like that flying cow in "Tornado". I might think twice about riding in the wind again. BTW, I'm small but not tiny!
