Magnetically levitated wheels
so you want a car like that?

Magnetically levitated wheels
you want as much mass of your bearings to not be moving as possible. the over all weight needs to be as low as possible for the bike.

Magnetically levitated wheels
yup. you want the heavy stuff not rotating.

Magnetically levitated wheels
you will want as much of the working mass as you can get on the axle instead of the wheel. also tires rule this kingdom so you will want razor thin tires with a high thread count. drag can be reduced by smoothing sharp edges and replacing raised surfaces with flush mounting. the majority of drag comes from the rider so a smooth contoured shell with a small cross section is your best bet.

Magnetically levitated wheels
if your magnetic bearings are strong enough to suspend the wheel around the axle, then yes to a degree. however, the biggest speed killer for a bike is the drag coefficient. the question is whether or not you can keep down your rotational mass.

Is Psychology a real science?
for anyone who does not believe psycology is a science, i recommend that they take a shopping trip. good money is paid to organize products, decide how they look, and how they make their purchases. even the latest in functional design of products can benefit from psychology.
