Best Answer

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.

the potential energy in the food the rider eats is converted to kenetic threw the muscles in your legs. also the potential energy of any kind of incline can move a bike. nearly all energy can be traced back to the suns energy though.

The energy produced is obviously light energy. The energy is provided by the bicycle's kinetic energy.


A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 ms the total mass of the bike and the rider is 85 kgit has a kinetic energy of 3.1x103 Joules No frictionWhat height will the bike if come stop?

You can use the formula for kinetic energy to verify the total kinetic energy (KE = 0.5mv2). Then, assuming all the energy is converted to (gravitational) potential energy, use the formula for potential energy, and solve for height. (PE = mgh)

A bike does not get energy from the sun. A bike takes kinetic energy from you and makes it into a proportional amount of kinetic energy depending on what gear you are on.
