I was just looking at that (the eddy current brake). Yes, what is
needed to build a bike with a braking action is a magnetic force
similar to pushing two magnets of the same pole towards each other. A
bike where the resistance is not friction but a magnetic field
resistance.

Do you mean an eddy current brake?
