I came up with the simple explanation.
Stick your head out of the window next time you're driving on the highway. That 100km/h (60 mph?) gust you feel is not really wind, but you moving through the air at 100km/h.
And that is why you feel a headwind on the bike.
If the air is completely still and you are moving 30km/h through it - the amount of air hitting you is exactly what it would be if you were standing around in a 30km/h wind!
So really, next time you feel the headwind where you don't think it should be, just remember it's your reward for going so darn fast. Congrats!
