thanks!

Once you apply power to a mass structure it goes to a process called energy. The mass will continue to move in the direction that it was given energy ;as peddaling no longers take place the bicycle will lose power of the motion due to energy transfer to the road as friction energy loss. The bycycle will no longer move and the gravity moment due to the gravitational potential it will topple over on the ground. The one who was peddeling should have eaten more wheaties.

The gyroscopic effect of the tires is minimal so this is not the correct answer, though it might be the answer your teacher is looking for.

The correct answer is that you can make small adjustments in ther dirrection of travel by stearing. These lateral accelerations make it easy to keep the tires centered under the center of gravity of the bike.

purely say how the diameter of the wheels, the wind resistance, the and equipment shift impression the speed the bicycle is going. If there are the different variables, contain them. you've a record throughout the time of wintry climate smash? :(
