What to do in emergency (and how to avoid dangerous situations) during road and mountain biking

Introduction

I’ve made a serious mistake when I’ve ignored the orange wind alert for the Canton and still went out road biking. I’ve seen that there is an alert and that it will rain, however, I wanted to go for a quick one hour ride and didn’t check the details too much. The orange alert means: significant hazard: highest wind gusts in exposed locations: in the plains: 90-120 km/h. I should have understood and evaluated the risks before going out.
