Which has more aerodynamic drag, an auto or a bicycle?

Asked by Charles (4823points) April 21st, 2012

If a car and a bike started from the top of a hill and coasted down, the car would reach a higher speed. The car tires are probably 35 psi and the bike tires are around 100 psi yet the car reaches a higher speed. The car’s axle bearings are probably just as good as the bikes? So, what else is there besides aero drag?
