    1. Cyclists could ride behind other cyclists to reduce the overall effects of wind resistance

    2. Friction = μN - -> where N is the normal force and μ is the coefficient of static or dynamic friction. By reducing the weight of the bike the could reduce the reaction force, which is the normal force that acts on them, which is friction is dependent on.

    3. Also by getting a smother tire, which reduces the friction between the ground and the tire. This is why professional cyclists have smooth and thin tires meant for speed while mountain bikes generally have large projects called the tread of the tire, to increase friction so they dont slip while biking on rough terrain.
