aerodynamics - Bicycle Wheel Drag in Slipstream


I was recently driving behind a car that had a bicycle mounted on a carrier over the rear bumper.


The bicycle wheels were not bound so they were rotating in the slip-stream of the car. I wonder, the fact that the wheels are turning; does this theoretically increase or decrease the drag on the car?
