bicycle gear
Pedaling resistance mechanism
A bicycle gear is one of the toothed wheels in a bike's drivetrain—the chainrings at the pedals and the sprockets at the rear wheel.
Shifting gears changes which combination engages, affecting how hard you pedal relative to wheel rotation.
Lower gears make climbing easier; higher gears allow greater speed on flat ground.
I downshifted to a lower gear for the hill.
