What makes bike wheels turn?
If you're rolling downhill - gravity. If you're going along on the flat - the pedalling effort of the rider.
Why the cyclist is changing the sprocket of the bicycle while climbing the hill?
In the simplest of explanations, they are downshifting. It makes it easier on the legs, as it requires less energy to push the pedals, but also the causes a lower ratio of turns of the pedal to turns of the wheel.
Can gravity cause midslides?
If mud slides downhill, then yes, gravity makes the sliding downhill happen.
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.
What makes a bicycle rust?
The salt,cold or sand
Was is a change of the bicycle?

What part of a bicycle makes the bicycle go?
The pedals, crank, chain, sprockets, and wheels. Along with the rider, they all work together to make the bicycle go.
Is a bicycle simple or compound machine?
A compound machineA bicycle consists of several simple machines, which makes it a complex machine.
All of the following are simple machines except a bicycle?
A bicycle consist of several simple machines, which makes it a complex machine.
What is the force that makes you bicycle brakes work?
Friction and pressure.
What force makes a bicycle move forward?
kinetic energy
Explain how air friction is reduced in cars and bicycle?
The front of the car is blunt, making it easier to 'cut' through air, thus reducing friction. For a bicycle, since it is very thin and angular, its shape (and the tires') makes it easier for air to glide over the bicycle, thus reducing friction.
