Depending on where the friction is coming from there is a lot that you can do. One of the first things to check is your chain. Head to a local shop and pick up some chainlube... my personal favorite is Rock n' Roll Lube, but there are tons out there. Ash the guys that work at the shop. If not it could be the bearings in your cranks, or the hubs of your wheels. If your brakes are misaligned or your wheel is out of true, the brake pads will rub, and that is another possible source. If you still have problems again take it to a shop and have a mechanic look at it to help you figure out what is wrong

According to Newton's first law, unless or other wise a force comes into play the resting or uniformly moving object would continue keeping that state.

Hence, frictional force which is having a tendency to avoid the relative motion between the two bodies, would change the uniform motion of the bike. So, with the engine put off, the motion of the bike will be gradually reduced due to the negative acceleration or retardation.

Friction on a bicycle works in the same way as friction works everywhere else.
