Ah yes, I do recall hitting a head wind at the top of an icy hill and getting blown into a backwards slide. Had to hang onto a lamp post and then try again between gusts. But then, I don't bike when the roads are that icy, so it's still a matter of walking any hill I can't spin (and that's a big category in my case).
