Why are a bikes pedals not in the front of a bike?
Hey, that's a good thought! In fact, there are bicycles that lie low to the ground that do have the pedals in front of the rider. Of course, they get pretty wet when it's raining . . . On a normal stand-up bicycle, the pedals are under the rider so that she can use her body weight to help push the pedals. Some people will push the pedals while standing up, thus gaining a lot more power just through using their body weight.
