One of the major resistance in mobility is the air resistance. It's following this equation: FA=CD∗A∗V22F_{A} = \frac{C_{D}*A*V^2}{2}.
Meaning the small surface AA the better

Here we can see that Human-Power vehicles (velomobile) are much better for that than regular bikes.

Illustrate with car

I used Stable diffusion to change it with a bike and a velomobile.
