Answer:

If you get a bike going and coast, the bike slows and then stops. This would occur even without air resistance. As a wheel rests, the part of the tire touching the ground compresses and deforms. When the wheel turns, the section of tire being compressed changes. The constant compression and relaxation requires energy.
