( 1 ) Inefficiencies within the rider.
( 2 ) Energy to overcome air/wind resistance , known as drag.
( 3 ) Inefficiencies within the bicycle mechanisms.
Every time you have to brake, the speed you lose is wasted energy.
Noise and heat is wasted energy from motorcycles.
Not after riding a bike, but rather during riding a bike. Your muscles convert chemical energy (a form of potential energy) into mechanical energy to do work.
it isn't
Kinetic energy.
Chemical energy
Rolling down a slope.
Solar energy transfers to the biker, the biker transfers muscular energy to the pedals, the pedals transfer mechanical energy to the bike itself, the bike transfers mechanical energy to the wheels, and the wheels transfer friction energy to the road, and the bike (it's wheels) moves.
Your legs transfer energy to the pedals.
Yes you can.
How is riding your bike similar to energy in the sun? Energy from the sun makes the grass grow like the chemicals in your body to transform the material into fuel that is used to move a bike.
Thermal energy is produced during a bike ride. It is produced by the body, which is why you sweat, the friction between all moving parts of the bike and even between the tyres and the road
