You need friction in some places, like between road and tire, hands and grips etc, but apart from those friction is mainly losses you might as well have done without. The friction will be holding you back, like when trying to run through deep water.
Air drag, Rolling resistance, and bearing losses causes you to need to keep pedaling in order to maintain a constant speed even if you're riding on the flat.
If you fall and come in contact with the ground and slide along it, you'll get all scraped up.
There is friction between the rubber tires and the road or other riding surface.There resistance to the rider moving through the air.The bicycle's chain, pedals, gears, etc all develop frictional forces.

The two ways that friction is harmful is that it causes wear and tear of the parts and there is also causes abrasion on surfaces. However, frictions is also useful in various ways like braking when riding a bike and so on.In elevator systems, it is harmful to motor and machine bearings, causes wear. on elevator rails that elevator rides on ,the guide shoes wear and need constant lubrication, unless they use more modern roller guides.
In the bearings and in the tires. All it does there is turn into heat - and we can't use that for going forward.

Friction can be both harmful and helpful. Without friction the tires of the bike could not push against the ground to move forward, and the brakes would not stop the bike. However, friction can cause parts of the bike and the tires to wear down. Also, to overcome the friction between the tires and the road you need to pedal harder to go faster.friction is helpful to stop the bike when you put on the brakes but it may be harmful by slowing your speed down. and if you hit the brakes hard at a sudden moment, you could tumble or flip

Humans produce greenhouse gases in many ways. Operating a generator or cooking with gas both will produce greenhouses gases. However, riding a bicycle will not.
Friction lets the drive wheel push you forward, and allows your brakes some bite. Friction make it possible to hold on to the bars. Friction lets you steer.
harmful friction is when friction can do harm or be a problem for example of this is if your skiing down a hill with grass you will have to much friction then you fall and get hurt :p
friction can cause: 1) Physical wear and tear of moving parts. 2) degradation of materials by continuous friction. 3) wastage of 70% of energy in car engines. However, friction is useful in: 1) walking 2) car brakes, friction between brake pads and Tyre causes car to slow down. 3) techniques like friction welding.
1) Friction tends to waste energy.2) The wasted energy gets converted into heat, which may be harmful in some cases - or special measures may have to be taken, to get rid of such waste heat.
