Some of you may be aware of this, but for me it was a new experience. On my return trip from work, today, we had a stiff wind. Most of the way was headwind, with which we are all familiar. My surprise came while fighting a stiff cross wind from my left side on the last mile of my trip. A bus passed me, to my left, (remember in USA we drive on the right side of the road), and suddenly the wind was blocked by the bus! Instantly I felt as if I was being sucked TOWARD the bus! I guess I had been unconsciously adjusting for the wind, and when the wind was suddenly blocked by the bus, I moved right toward it! It's something I guess I need to keep in mind the next time a bus or large lorry is overtaking in a cross wind. I don't like surprises!
