Modified the body.
Feb 16, 2015 at 16:52 comment added user36790 Yes that's right. Think of the car. Its tyres push the road backward; the road exerts frictional force to the car forward thus moving it. This doesn't mean it is providing energy to the car from the road; the energy is emanating from the engine.
Feb 16, 2015 at 16:45 comment added user36790 So cycle moves due to friction & you don't impart external force, right????
