==================
You have to specify the relation between biking and wind.
Have you ever ridden a bike?
======================
This is an example of people writing math problems, but they don't know what they're talking about. It's called "ignorance."
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Also the route between Brattleboro and Keene is fairly hilly and curvy (I'm somewhat familiar with the area); it would be a poor decision to assume that their speed or the tailwind/headwind was constant.
