The front of the car is blunt, making it easier to 'cut' through air, thus reducing friction.
For a bicycle, since it is very thin and angular, its shape (and the tires') makes it easier for air to glide over the bicycle, thus reducing friction.

How is friction reduced on modern cars?
By lubrication and using polished surfaces and avoiding the striking mechanism of 2 parts in an engine...
Why do f1 cars need friction?
F1 cars need friction for their brakes, if they didn't have friction on there brakes then it wouldn't be able to brake.
How is friction important in your lives?
when you walk; wheels roll to move cars; you grasp something in your hand; cars brake; these are all because of friction. Really there are advantages of friction.
Does friction help mousetrap cars?
no it does not
Can friction be important?
when i am ask is friction important i say the answer is yes. friction is important and can help people in many different ways. like cars for a example cars use friction to drive on the road. there is many different types of friction to; dry friction, fluid friction, lubricated friction, skin friction, internal friction, ect..... all of these types of frictions can be different a different way.
How air friction is reduced in cars?
With aerodynamics.

How is friction helpfull?
Friction is helpful so you dont fall and friction helps things work much better than others. friction can also be helpfull when someone is driving. for an example on a slippery road frictio between the tires and the road stops the cars from sliding off the road and crashing. In sports friction stops the ball from going on forever. without friction we would just keep going on and on with out stopping. friction helps stop a bicycle from going on forever when we push the brakes in a bicycle it creates friction, which slows us down to a stop.
What are the forces acting on the cars and explain why the cars do not slide down the hill?
The car is being acted upon by gravity and friction. The reason that the car doesn't slide down the hill is because friction is keeping the car in place.
Why do cars have different tires on different terrains?
Friction and the way the tires grip the terrain help to explain why there are varied types of tires.

Why should cars drive slower in wet weather?
Friction is reduced between the tire and the road.Frictional Force = Coefficient of Friction x WeightThe weight of the car has not changed, however, the coefficient of friction has gone down ultimately reducing the available emergency stopping power of the car.The effect is referred to as Hydroplaning ; see related link .
How can friction be a positive thing in our daily lives?
Without friction, cars wouldn't work.
