Jreeder got it all. I'd just add his numbers are assuming a well maintained street bike. A poorly maintained bike, a beach cruiser or a Mtn bike means more friction. Also the air drag depends on air speed not ground speed. So if you are going 15MPH and there is a 5 MPH headwind the air drag is 4 times as much as if there is a 5 MPH tailwind.
