When a bicycle is moving on a road, what is the direction on each of its wheels.
I think backward on both wheels because the condition of pure rolling is there on the wheels.
But then there won't be the necessary forward force that propels the bicycle forward. So what is the exact direction of friction? Is it different on both wheels. A general clarification with FBD's , forces and torques would be appreciated
