The first law of Newton is for any material, and it states that if the net force on an object is zero, the object will be at rest

forever or will move with uniform velocity forever.

In the case of a bicycle, the obviously known forces are gravitational force, the reaction force of the ground on the bicycle, the force applied by the rider, and the various frictional forces on the cycle.

If the net of all of these forces and the other various forces not obviously known is zero, the cycle will either be at rest or will move with uniform speed in a straight line.

Does newtons first law apply to bicycling?

Yes, Newton's first law of motion applies to bicycling. It states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. When you're riding a bike, you will keep moving forward at a constant speed unless you apply the brakes or encounter obstacles that cause you to stop.

Can you wear a motorcycle helmet while riding a bicycle?

Oh, dude, technically, yeah, you can wear a motorcycle helmet while riding a bicycle. I mean, it might look a bit overkill for a leisurely bike ride in the park, but hey, safety first, right? Just be prepared for some confused looks from other cyclists wondering if you took a wrong turn from the motorbike track.

You can. but only with difficulty. As a cruiser has a rather poor riding position and is usually quite heavy as well you're probably better off looking for a bike with better riding characteristics in the first place.
