Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
While riding a bicycle, if we stop pedalling, the bicycle begins to slow down due to the frictional force acting opposite to the direction of the motion. This is because the applied force becomes less when the rider stops pedalling. Comparatively, the friction between the bicycle wheel and the road and this force is now unbalanced, resulting in the bicycle's slowing down.
