The ratchet and pawl mechanism, a small device inside the wheel hub with slanted teeth and spring-loaded pawls, allows bicycles to coast by enabling the wheel to turn freely while the pedals remain stationary; when pedaling forward, the pawls lock to drive the wheel, but when stopping, they slide over the slanted teeth, creating the characteristic clicking sound that enables coasting.

Why your pedals STOP, but the bike GOESAjouté :
ever wonder why your bike keeps coasting forward when you stop pedaling but the pedals don't move today it's normal but a century ago this didn't exist back then fixed gear bikes were the standard if the rear wheel turned your legs were forced to keep pedaling there was no coasting then came a tiny mechanism hidden inside the wheel hub the ratchet and pawl inside it's just a ring of slanted teeth and spring loaded pawls when you pedal forward the pawls lock tight to drive the wheel but when you stop they just slide over the slanted teeth creating that iconic clicking sound that click it's the sound of human ingenuity
