What force between a bicycle's tires and the road affects the speed of the bicycle?

Answer:When a bicycle is moving upward a force is acting called friction which pulls the rider backward making it harder for the rider to move forward. When the rider is at a constant speed the forces are balanced (the same), when the bicycle is speeding up(accelerating) the forces are unbalanced.The force acting forward is greater. When the bicycle is slowing down the forces going upward and downward are the same, however the force acting backward is greater. The forces are unbalanced when slowing down. When at rest the forces are also balanced. So, overall , the only times when the force's are balanced is when they are either at a constant speed or at rest. The times when the forces that are unbalanced are when the bicycle is slowing down or speeding up.Generally, it is gravity that holds you down, some wind resistance depending on the clothing you wear (as baggy clothes can increase drag) this is why professional cyclists wear those dodgy suits.
