Drag force on a bicyclist

Recently, I wrote an introductory physics exam where I encountered the following problem: We look at a bicyclist with the wind drag force $\vec{F_R}(t) = -k \vec{v}(t) |\vec{v}(t)|$ who accelerates with … I would be perfectly fine if I was given either the wind vector or a scalar equation for the drag force, but I don't know what to do with this. …
