Write in brief, how does a bicycle stop when its brakes are applied.
When we pull the brake lever the calipers attached to the tyre grabs the rim of the tyre or the disk of the tyre (if there are disk brakes) and as the motion of the tyre is opposed by the friction always, so the friction occurring between the surfaces of the rim and the rubber calipers of the brakes as a result of contact developed between them makes the tyre slow by time and ultimately stops it.
