[QUOTE=PeterS;257244]Thanks for the reply ,can I assume that the area on the rear turns you up into the wind in a side gust ? Is this comfortable ?Too quick or is it predictable ?[/QUOTE
The cross wind does not turn the bike, what happens is that the bike starts to roll in the direction of the wind [force] what happens at the same is the "counter steering" of the front wheel which causes the bike to roll in the opposite direction, resulting in the bike leaning into the wind as it goes down the road. The bike is comfortable. I have only had one incident that caused some anxiety, but the fact that it resulted in no great change in trajectory gave me confidence that only a hurricane would be strong enough to cause a dangerous change in trajectory. The bike almost corrects itself, I suspect that most problems that new riders have is panic as the bike rolls.
