Best Answer

When you ride a bicycle, the force of the wheel against the earth causes the earth to push back on the wheel, propelling the bike forward, according to Newton's law of equal and opposite reactions. If the force exerted by the earth is strong enough, it can overcome the inertia of the bike.
