red bikes with black bar tape are the fastest. Everyone knows that.
I once asked Tommy how he kept his white bar tape so clean (on a mountain bike no less) and he replied rather derisively, "I wash my hands". Then he rode away from me...
Racist claims suck.
white cars go quicker because the air conditioning isn't draining the engine cooling the heat absorbed by darker colours. Wearing white in a sunny hot day lets you go faster by keeping you cooler. It makes plenty of sense. :)
