Ok if the motorcyclist is drivng from front to back at 200 MPH and the train is moving the opposite direction at 70 mph then we need to multipply the the motorcycles speed proportionately with the trains. However if the motorcyclist is riding from back to front the inverse is true. So what we are lacking here is information on direectionality. Then you would need to factor in wind speed and direction. The man running front to back is moving quicker than the woman running from back to front. Of course we need to know what their physical conditioning is, are they carrying anything, what are they wearing, are there any obsticals in their paths. Good question Ice, but we need more info to answer it! LMAO!!!

It seems Scrump was right. I made a minor mistake in the wording of the question. I neglected to mention that the cyclist was moving toward the rear of the train. The answer in essence being that relative to ground, the cyclist was theoretically moving at a rate of 130 miles per hour.
