Running into an immovable object will stop you pretty much instantaneously...
Otherwise, on the flat - friction. Friction as air drag, friction as rolling resistance of the tires, and a tiny bit lost through the bearings.
Aiming the bike up a hill will stop the bike fairly soon too if you're not pedalling.
What else can I help you with?
What force stops the motion of a bike?
friction by applying the brakes? When you apply the brakes, there are pads on either side of the metal part of the wheel, they squeeze together tighter and tighter until the wheel stops turning, which stops the motion of the bike.
How do you test your bike brakes?
slowly push it along then pull the brakes, if it stops, THE BRAKES WORK!!! if it keeps going, THE BRAKES DON'T WORK!!! IT'S ROCKET SCIENCE!!!
What is the force that can stop a bicycle when the rider applies the brakes?
Friction is the force that stops the bike.
Does the BMX bike has breackes?
most bmx bikes dont have front brakes now ans if you pedal backward and it has pedal brakes its not a bmx bike
What sound do motorcycle brakes make when they lock?
When motorcycle brakes lock, they make a light grinding sound accompanied by the loud screeching of the tires. When the brakes lock, the tires are forced to slide along the pavement until the brakes are released on the bike stops.
What are the differences between cantilever brakes and V brakes, and which one is more effective for stopping power?
Cantilever brakes and V brakes are two types of bicycle brakes that differ in their design and placement on the bike. Cantilever brakes are mounted on the frame or fork of the bike, while V brakes are mounted on the seat stays or fork. V brakes typically provide more stopping power and are more effective for quick and powerful stops compared to cantilever brakes.
How much faster is the stopping time on a bike with disk brakes versus a bike with regular brake pads?
I have had bikes with disk and regular brake pads. Disk brakes dont squeak like regular brake pads and stop you much shorter. This is why disk brakes are more expensive.
How do you put the brakes on the bike?
depends on the bike and the brakes. Go to www.parktool.com or www.sheldonbrown.com for more.
My front brakes or back brakes dont work on my mongoose Ko bike when i pull the brakes what do i do?
Impossible to answer from such a short description, but probably you need to tighten the cables one way or another. Try the related links.
Why would a car make a squeaking noise when driving that stops when the brakes are applied?
this is usually the indicator that you need new brakes so dont worry just get them replaced problem solved
How do bicycle brakes work to slow down or stop the bike?
Bicycle brakes work by applying friction to the wheels, which slows down or stops the bike. When the brake lever is squeezed, brake pads press against the wheel rims or disc, creating friction that slows down the rotation of the wheels. This friction converts the bike's kinetic energy into heat, helping to bring the bike to a stop.
What are two innovation that bike brakes?
Disc brakes and drum brakes.
