In starting moving, how much torque does it take to move a bicycle? How much torque does it take to keep it moving?
Too many variables. how much does said person weigh?, Up hill or down hill, gear ratio of the pedal versus the back wheel, size of the back wheel, type of road surface. All these factor into force needed to apply to cause motion. It obviously takes much less force to keep moving than to start moving. (A body in motion tends to stay in motion as a body at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by some out side force) these forces are gravity, friction, and air movement.
That's funny, however much you weight, duh!!!
