answer:Yes. All winds are headwinds except for tailwinds. This is why riders in a bicycling peloton angle away from the crosswind behind the leaders. Cars: Engineers have various methods at their disposal to reduce the effects of crosswinds. things such as lower ride heights, lower overall height, stiffer suspensions, active steering and aerodynamics. (The egg shape of the Porsche 928 was the most visually obvious example of the latter).
