I have seen streamliners get pushed to the side almost 30 feet.
We were at Casa Grande at the Nissan test track in 2007 with our bicycle streamliner the Varna2. Rob the rider was circulating the track at 50 mph in the one hour competition and encountered a 30+ mph cross wind.
The gust pushed him sideways. He had the luxury of using the entire width of the 3 lane track to keep upright. Something that would not be available on a normal roadway. Our rider had a lot of miles riding the Varna 2.
Had he been going faster he would have had to move further to stay upright.
There is a youtube video which shows this even occurring.
Seeing the stills of the bike passing a fan is not the same thing as having mother natures wind.
