When you apply the brakes, the bicycle's mechanical energy is transformed into thermal energy as the brake pads rub against the bicycle's wheels. The total amount of energy never changes. The additional thermal energy warms the brakes, the wheels, and the air around the bicycle.
A moving bike has kinetic energy that gets turned into heat when braking to a stop.

Is 100 percent of work you do to pedal a bicycle converted into kenetic energy?
No. Some of it is lost as friction.
If a bicycle is a machine from what does it receive energy?
Bicycles gets their energy from the chemical energy stored in the food eaten by the rider.
How much of the energy input of a bicycle is lost to heat?
Bicycles are generally rated as being very efficient, in the 95-98% range.
How do you describe kenetic energy?
energy in motion
What is the qravitation potential energy?

What type of energy do cars have?
Kenetic
Is food kenetic energy?
yes
What type of energy does a windmill have?
it has kenetic energy
What energy changes in Bicycle Dynamo?
It converts mechanical energy into electric energy.
Is ATP kenetic energy?
No, ATP represents potential energy.
