What is Speed of road bicycle versus tandem road bicycle?
A tandem is faster. Basically it has pretty much the same air drag as a single rider but it has two people powering it along. It's not twice the speed, as much riding is done in a speed range where air drag isn't particularly significant, but maybe 10-25 % faster. However, IRL tandems usually aren't faster, because they're mainly used to let a strong rider ride with a weaker rider w/o having to hold back all the time. That way a physically mismatched couple can still enjoy a ride together.
What store of energy does a bicycle carry?
A bicycle carries kinetic energy when it is in motion. The kinetic energy comes from the rider's pedaling efforts and is stored in the motion of the bicycle and rider.
