Crosswind

Crosswinds can also cause difficulty with ground vehicles traveling on wet or slippery roads (snow, ice, standing water, etc.

), especially when gusting conditions affect vehicles that have a large side area such as vans, SUVs, and tractor-trailers.

This can be dangerous for motorists because of the possible lift force created, causing the vehicle to lose traction or change direction of travel.

[3][4] Saving energy by avoiding riding in wind is a major part of the tactics of road bicycle racing, and this particularly applies in crosswinds.

[4][5] Riders who fail to form part of an echelon will have to work much harder, and can be dropped by the group that they are with.

Pilots can use a use a crosswind component chart to calculate the headwind component and the crosswind component. The red line in this image indicates a 30° angular difference at a 25-knot wind velocity. The headwind is about 22 knots, and the crosswind is about 13 knots. [ 1 ]
Skilled cyclists can ride in crosswinds using a Belgian tourniquet (Belgischer Kreisel)
