this would have to deal with the pull of gravity, air resistance, and friction. In Newton's laws it states that a object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon another force. Gravity, air resistance(wind), and friction are the forces.
Of course you won't stop if you keep on pedaling.

When a bike goes up a hill, mechanical energy from pedaling is converted to gravitational potential energy as the bike gains height. When the bike goes down the hill, the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the bike accelerates. Frictional forces also convert some of the energy to heat.
When you ride a bike down a hill, the force of gravity pulls you and the bike down the slope, causing you to accelerate. Your speed will increase as you descend due to the force of gravity overcoming friction and air resistance. It is important to use the brakes to control your speed and maintain balance while going downhill.
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity which infers motion taking place. If the bike was moving then yes it would make it go downhill. The real culprit would be gravity if the bike was not already in motion. The hill is an incline and the bike is being pulled by gravity down that incline.
Well I would think that when you bike down a hill, you're going super fast and you might tip over on your bike and get a bruise or two. If you really want to ride down a hill, like really, really want to, you should wear all biking gear such as a helmet, elbow pads, knee and hand pads (you know, the whole deal).

i learnt how to bike on a hill. My dad held my bike and then let me go. It takes a lot of times to master it but while your going down the hill, you should try pedalling!
you would be going north

Going up a hill would make your acceleration decrease or cause it to be slow. Going down a hill would make acceleration increase causing you to go faster.

its where you put your dirt bike or ATV in 2nd gear to make it start by pushing it fast or going down a steep hill ..
Cycle down a hill.

If you are driving a loaded tractor trailer, you would downshift to gain more power when going up hill and downshift to control speed when going down hill.
The skier will gain momentum as they travel down the hill but once the hill flattens out they will eventually slow down due to friction
