    Proof that black is the slowest color

    It is a fact that white reflects all colors of light, and black absorbs all colors of light. The brighter that it is outside, the more light that a black F6B will absorb. The more light it absorbs, the heavier it becomes, thus slowing it down

    Logic dictates that with enough riding, a black F6B will become so overweight with absorbed colors that it will eventually be unable to move under its own power.

    You have the story half right

    Black does absorb all colors of light
    But Light is power and the more light a black bike absorbs the more powerful the bike will be

    Incorrect: white light is power. Black is just a life-sucking drain. That's why flux capacitors in the 40kw range use white light, not black.

    By that theory black will have already absorbed everything else around it so all other colors are irrelevant
