Several forces are at play in riding a bike:

  • gravity to keep it on or return it to the road
  • gyroscopic forces to help keep it upright
  • frictional forces to let it interact with the road
  • leverage to modify the pressure in th pedals to interact with the wheel
  • air resistance to be overcome
  • chemical energy from the riders muscles
