What helps a bike to stop friction or gravity?
friction
Why isn't thermal energy wasted during a bike ride?
Thermal energy is produced during a bike ride. It is produced by the body, which is why you sweat, the friction between all moving parts of the bike and even between the tyres and the road
Lubrication is the use of oil and grease to reduce friction in a car's moving parts?
Lubrication is the use of oil and grease to increase friction in a vehicle's moving parts
What types of friction occur when you ride a bike through a puddle?
Fluid Friction, & Rolling Friction.
Is the rubber grip of a bike handlebar high friction or low friction?
it gets hot
What force we use when you walk on the sidewalk and roll your bike?
friction
What helps a bike to stop friction or gravity?
friction
How friction create harm while cycling?
Friction can be either good or bad depending on where it is. Friction between parts that are meant to stay put is a good thing, friction between parts that are supposed to move is a bad thing. Tires for instance are meant to roll along the road, not slide. Here, friction is good. But then you cone to the hubs. In here, the wheel has to move around the axle. Here, friction is bad. Here, friction will turn effort that would otherwise have gone into moving the bike forward into heat, which is no use to the rider at all.

What are two ways that friction is helpful and harmful when riding a bike?
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
What helps a bike to stop when you brake?
Friction is what ultimately stops your bike

Lubrication is the use of oil and grease to increase friction in a vehicle's moving parts
Why do you use grease between moving parts of vehicles?
to reduce friction
What prevents a moving bike from coasting forever in a straight line?
Friction. Air friction, road friction and mechanical friction.
Where is small friction made on a bike?
In the bearings
What forces are used to slowdown a bike?
friction
What types of friction occur when you ride a bike through a puddle?
