I had my rear wheel blown sideways tonight when I lifted it to pull the pedal up. That's just a standard track bike rear end without mudguards and not particularly spokey wheels. It seemed to be because a strong westerly hit the houses next to me and bounced back, for want of a better description. (I have no idea what verbs are normally used to describe wind ricocheting off houses.)
