Any car that has to go uphill requires more effort than on a flat surface or downhill. Mainly because uphill is steeper (in an up direction) which also pushes against gravity.


What force do you have to overcome when riding a bike?

Friction - several different kinds - and inertia. If riding uphill, also gravity.


What are the energy conversion of riding a bicycle up and down the hills?

When riding a bicycle uphill, the energy conversion involves converting chemical energy from food consumed into kinetic energy to pedal the bike uphill against gravity. When riding downhill, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the bike accelerates due to gravity. Some energy is lost as heat and air resistance during both uphill and downhill cycling.


How much air does a mountain bike need?
