a cyclist is moving on a level road at 4m/s stops pedaling and let's the wheels comes to rest the retardation of cycle has 2 components a constant 0.08m/s^2 due to friction in working parts and resistance of 0.02v^2/m where v is speed in m/s and distance tranversed by the cycle before it comes to rest.(log 5=1.6)

The cyclist maintains balance by continuously making small adjustments with their body and handlebars to counteract any changes in direction or weight distribution. They also rely on their bike's gyroscopic stabilizing effect and their own sense of balance.
The speed of a cyclist on a level road is affected by factors such as their fitness level, the weight and aerodynamics of their bike, the condition of the road, wind conditions, and the grade of the road (even a slight incline can affect speed).
A cyclist must adjust their pedaling cadence and gear selection to maintain a consistent speed on changing terrain. They may also need to shift their weight and adjust their body position to maintain balance and control.
Drafting, or riding closely behind another cyclist, can significantly increase a cyclist's speed on a level road. This is because the lead cyclist creates a slipstream that reduces air resistance for the following cyclist, allowing them to conserve energy and maintain a higher speed.
A cyclist's position on the bike can greatly affect their performance on a level road. A more aerodynamic position, such as tucking in and lowering the head, can reduce air resistance and increase speed. Additionally, a proper bike fit and body position can improve power transfer and avoid strain and discomfort during long rides.
