Yes. if it wasn't the tire would slip, both against the rim and the road surface.

Parts of a bicycle where friction can be maximised?
The brakes and the tire treads.
Does gravity cause a bicycle tire to wear down?
No. That would be friction.
Does brakes on a bicycle have a lot of friction or not much and is it useful or not useful?
Brakes are meant to have a lot of friction and it's useful.
What is a bicycle tire?
A bicycle tire is a tire which fits on the wheel of a bicycle or similar vehicle.
What makes a bicycle stop when it's breaks are applied?
The basic reason is going to be friction. The brake pads rub against the tire or tire rim to create it.
Is friction increased with inflated tires?
No, when your tire is at the optimum recommended pressure friction is least.- You will notice this most on bicycle tires, when pressure is low, it's harder to pedal. I pump my bicycle tires to 45 psi and have a smooth, fast ride.
Where can you apply inflation in real life?
In a car or bicycle tyre (US tire).In a car or bicycle tyre (US tire).In a car or bicycle tyre (US tire).In a car or bicycle tyre (US tire).
Where are the input and output forces on a bicycle?
It is obvious that the pedals drive the back wheel in some fashion having a lot to do with the chain between them and gears. The rubber tire on the wheel makes contact with the road and friction makes it go.
Is a bicycle tire a element or compound?
A bicycle tire is neither an element nor a compound. It is an object.
How does a friction effect with bicycling?
friction makes riding a bike possible. When the tire presses on the ground, friction acts against the rotation of the tire, fixing the lowest point of the wheel on the floor. This force is transmitted to the axel of the wheel and is what propels the bicycle forwards.
How does braking stop a bicycle?
Same as on a car. Applying the brakes means that something stationary is pressed against a moving part. This generates friction, which turns speed into heat.It produces friction, because when the brake touches the rim of the bicycle, the bicycle slows down. (thats called friction) And after a while the bicycle stopsA stationary part is brought into contact with a rotating part. The resulting friction slows the bike down.
What is minimum recommended width bicycle tire for crushed limestone trails?
Crushed limestone trails can do a lot of damage to bicycles. It is important to have a tire that is at least an inch wide.
