Asked by kelsie

when you ride a bicycle at full speed and the bike stops suddenly, why do you have to push hard on the handle bars to keep from flying forward?

If nothing pushes you backwards, you will keep on going and fly over the handlebars. The bike seat alone cannot apply enough static friction to decelerate you suddenly.
