How can a racing bicycle have the same linear momentum as a pickup truck?

Momentum = mass x velocity
The bike has a much smaller mass, but if its velocity is great enough and the truck's is slow enough, the product can be the same.
mass(bike) X Speed(bike) = mass(truck) X speed(truck)
for an example, Speed(x)=0 and speed(x)=0 therefore, the two momentums are equal.

So they don't topple over when they are taking turns.
What wheels creates the most friction?
(Before I answer this question, I will restate it to "Which tires create the most friction?".) In racing, super soft racing tires usually create the most friction on road. They give wind to durability, but require only several turns to heat up.
What limits the speed of an object in outer space?
The speed of light, depending on how much momentum an object has. Nothing can surpass the speed of light. the Speed of light is exactly 186,282 miles per second, or 299,792,458 metres per second. Let's imagine a scenario. A meteor is racing through space at the speed of light. If said meteor were to crash into an object, then said meteor will lose most its momentum. As some of the kinetic energy from the meteor is transferred to the object it hit, another meteor, for example, then the first meteor should be travelling at a slower pace, where as the secondary meteor should now be travelling faster than before it got hit, unless of course, both meteors were travelling at the Speed of light, in which case, they should both be flung backwards at the same speed. To conclude, objects and the Speed of light limit the speed of an object in space.
