Bicycle gears
The gear shifters regulate the necessary cycling
power .and .the .speed .that .can .be .achieved. .While .
riding in lower gears, it becomes easier to ride on
inclined planes and it reduces physical exertion
when .pedalling. .While .riding .in .higher .gears,
more physical exertion is needed to pedal, allow
