How can a cyclist minimize friction as he or she rides? (1 point) • by increasing the weight of the bike • by increasing the tread on his or her tires • by decreasing the air resistance

OpenStudy (wolfe8):

I guess it's considering air resistance as friction between the rider and the air?

It is by decreasing the air resistance. The others would increase friction as friction is calculated by the μmg and the others increase m or the contact area.
