I know that on a ride along the Cape Cod Canal my wife and I did a 7 mile southerly leg into the teeth of a 25 mph wind. I suffered. My wife was riding a single speed upright cruiser bike. What whe would have said about the wind would have made a dockworker blush. (Some of it was pointed in my direction for bringing her on the trip)

Then there was the return trip. My wife, sitting upright behind her large wicker basket handlebar rack with a fake Toto sticking its head up, was peddling fast and laughing all the way. She was getting ready to spread her arms and jacket out and sail all the way.
