Dont want to sound mean but if the wind is not like what this description says, then is not a hard wind, and if the guys is knocked to the side of the road is because he doesnt know how to ride a bike or his handling skills just plain suck, ask that to AS hehehe...

"Patagonia is renowned for its wild winds. How did you deal with them?

Most of the time the wind didn’t give us too many problems but some days could be extreme. One day we biked all day into a headwind so strong it kept catching the front wheel and pushing us off the road. We struggled to maintain 7km / hour and only managed 40km in 6 hours of hard riding. We couldn’t stop because we’d planned to meet some friends at the start of a hike!"

Imagine do like 22 miles in 6 hours... Now imagine crossed wind going with the bike tilted like 25 degrees riding your bike...
