what makes a bike fast? (generally)?

[Lara B]

+light weight
+skinny tires
what else?
big wheels? really? cause that would be good cause I like mountain bike tires better!
and what are spikey things?? I'm gona guess gears!! do those really make u go faster? I just stay on one setting which is the least pedaling but the most resistance.

I got my bike at target like 6 years ago and i'm looking for a new one,thanks for the help guys!

Steep hills, strong wind, strong rider, smooth surface, proper tire pressure, proper attire, proper nutrition, good training/experience, motivation, and being chased by cheetah.
