I am serious. This is not a joke. If we are talking about a 1, or 2 wheeled vehicle,
why couldn't we deploy on demand a training wheel opposite side the wind is pushing
from.
We would still be legal (under 4 wheels), and if designed properly, the weight penalty
should not be too high!
Would that not be a huge piece of mind for the operator?

I think it would cause other issues and upset the balance of the cycle. When you are working against a cross-wind you are leaning into the wind. Not sure what adding a wheel on the opposite side would do to your stability as it touched down, but I don't think it would be good.
Maybe someone with more engineering knowledge could explain what would happen.
