Professional bike riders want to reduce friction, because friction is a force of two objects rubbing up against each other, therefore slowing you down.

Do wheels reduce friction?
yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce
What does a bit of oil reduce in science?
Oil is used to reduce friction.
Why do use powder on a carom board?
the main reason for doing so is that the surface becomes smooth n in terms of science to reduce "friction" that wud exist between the board n the striker due to which it will move more swiftly with lee deployment of power..!!
How does the flow of air reduce friction of the hovercraft in motion?
How does the flow of air reduce friction of the hovercraft in motion?
Does water reduce friction?
Water does reduce friction, as the liquid essentially lubricates the surface between the two objects. However, this only applies to affecting other friction. It has its own friction when objects move through a body of water.
What direction do cyclists race in a velodrome?
Cyclists in a velodrome race anticlockwise.
How does a velodrome help cyclists?
The velodrome allows cyclists to improve their RPM considerably. If you are a climber, and find yourself getting dropped or in difficulty on flatter sections of a race or a ride, going to a velodrome will help you get a feel for riding at a high tempo. If you ride with a group, a velodrome will also help you develop skills of riding in a pack, and it will also teach you good drafting skills and sprinting skills. Some guys can reach over 40mph on the velodrome and hold that speed for a kilometer. I am a climber myself, and going to a velodrome has allowed me to put others in difficulty before a climb, and then drop them on the climb.
What is a cycling arena called?
The general name for an arena where cyclists ride round and around on a banked track is a velodrome. On top of that, each arena usually also has its own individual name.
Does sand reduce friction?
No, sand does not reduce friction but increase friction.
What is undesirable?
An example of undesirable friction is when a cyclists falls and his face against pavement that skin on the road. Undesirable friction is something that is not controllable.
How can you reduce and increase friction?
Lubrication to reduce friction. To increase friction step on the brakes.
What were the sporting events held at the Bronx Coliseum?
The Bronx Velodrome was built in 1920 with a seating capacity of 23,000. It was primarily used for hosting cycling events. It was famous for attracting European cyclists. Later the Velodrome was used for boxing matches.
How can you decrase friction?
Depends what you want to increase/decrease friction on. If is like a weight on the floor.. Then to increase the friction all you have to do is increase the weight, To reduce it you either reduce the weight or get a smoother surface, or maybe a cloth in-between the floor and the weight.
Do wheels reduce friction?
yes because when they brake the friction is caused to reduce
What are the ways of increasing and reducing friction?
TO REDUCE FRICTION: We can use fine powder on the carrom board to reduce friction
What kind of friction can help reduce friction?
I never heard of friction reducing friction. You can reduce friction by using lubricants, as well as using wheels (as in ball bearings).
How does oil reduce air friction?
Oil is mainly used to reduce friction between contacting surface, e.g., metal on metal - not to reduce air friction.
