3.14 Gears
The gears are operated by the gear lever on the handlebars. The gear shift
allows you to adjust the gears of your bicycle, and so the transmission,
to current riding conditions. On a straight level stretch, a higher gear is
sensible to achieve and maintain a higher speed without having to pedal
too much. As soon as you start going uphill, a lower gear is beneficial
because it is important to be able to climb the hill with a little effort.
Select the gears so that your legs are always moving at a steady pace.
Derailleur
This system lifts the chain on to a
sprocket when the gear is changed. The
chain must continue moving so that the
teeth of the sprocket can engage with
the chain links easily and smoothly. For
a successful gear change, therefore, you
must keep pedalling forwards,
never
backwards – but at the same time pedal
lightly without force.
