Explain why a bicycle can be slowed down by dragging your feet along the ground.

due to friction(force applied by our feet when they touch the ground) which is the force applied opposite to the direction of motion so the speed is reduced

Our feet have friction so our feet helps in reducing the speed of the cycle

 Force of friction is applied(As our feet touches the ground)and friction can reduce the speed of an object.....therefore speed of bicycle reduces.
