A bicycle has high friction at the brakes, first and foremost. Then at places where the rider holds on to the bike, Grips and pedals. Between tires and road.

A big part.

W/o friction, brakes wouldn't slow the bike down.

According to the pics I find, it should have a coaster brake (pedal-backwards) rear hub/wheel. Nothing else. It's probably possible to fit a long-reach caliper brake to the front.


What is a brake pad for my car?

A brake pad is a part of the disk brakes in your vehicle that help stop the vehicle. There are generally two brake pads that are made of steel with a material on them that provides friction. When the two pads are pressed together by other components of your brake system, then the friction created helps to stop the car. You can find brake pads at any auto parts store. They're also not difficult to install yourself.

Will cantilever brake pads work on a linear pull system for your bicycle?

Sort of, maybe. Some cantis use pads with smooth posts, and it's very rare to find a v-brake that take those. But some canti brakes use pads with threaded posts, and those should work, after a fashion, with v-brakes. Do note that canti brake pads are usually thicker and shorter than v-brake pads, which can influence the performance and the setup.

Does BMX make 24'' bikes with petel brakes?

BMX isn't a manufacturer, it's type of bicycle - just like sneaker is a type of shoe. BMX doesn't make any bicycles. Bicycle manufacturers make BMX bikes. And pedal brakes aren't that good on a performance bike, as you have to wait until your pedals are in the right position before you can brake. But it's possible that you can find a BMX-looking kids/juvenile bike with a pedal brake. Don't expect it to do particularly well if it gets ridden hard though.
