Manchild, I find a terrible flaw in the design you posted: shouldn't this bike use cyclist shoes? You know, for better grip...
I don't think so - for the same reason that golf balls with dimples travel further than those without. Also a turbulent boundary layer will dissipate heat better through convection than a laminar boundary layer. I believe evolution has left us with just enough residual fur to minimize drag and maximize heat transfer.
