Just fine, thank you for asking.
The chain transfer power from where it's generated by the pedals to the rear wheel where it can push the bike forward.
The gears on a bike work just like any other set of gears, they allow you to trade power for travel - or the other way around. If spinning the pedals is too easy and you can't crank them round any faster, then a change of gears will make the rear wheel turn more WRT the pedals than before, bringing more resistance to the pedals and more speed to the bike. If turning the pedals is too heavy, then dropping a gear will make the pedals easier to turn on the cost of the rear wheel spinning a bit less for each turn of the pedals

∙ 15y agoAnother muddled question. Some bikes have like a small gearbox inside the rear hub, in which case the chain only does two things: # it connects the sprocket by the pedals(called the chainwheel, or chain ring) to the single sprocket at the rear. # The front and rear sprockets are different in size in order to get the basic ratio between the pedalling speed and the bike's speed right. Some bikes have external gears by having several differently sized sprockets at the rear and 2-3 chainwheels at the front. In this case the chain has to be long enough and flexible enough to be able to move from one sprocket to another while riding. Moving the chain is done by running it through something called a derailer(or derailleur) which can push the chain sideways. The rear derailer also has two small sprockets that the chain is looped around to take up the slack.

Where did the idea for the gossamer condor come from and what did it have to do with the power output of a bicyclist?
" The bicycle is powered only by our physical input. We work our legs to push on the pedals, and cause the gears and chains to turn, thus causing forward movement of the wheels. Since the criteria for the Kremer Prize consisted of the aircraft to be human-powered, Paul MacCready and his team designed this system of gears and chains on the Gossamer Condor to get it moving. It worked terrifically well." -Julianne Marquez [9th grade]
What business were the wright brothers in when they bult the first airplane?
They owned a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio named Wright Cycle Co.A cycle.company
Is there cheat codes for gears of war?

There is no cheats or glitches that give you infinite ammo in gears of war 2
Gears of War 3 Beta True or False?
Yes. If you pre-ordered bulletstorm you get the gears 3 beta included. I think the beta is coming out in april...
Are bicycle gears a pulley?
lever at crank, connected by chain to lever at rear wheel
What is a bicycle gear shift?
There has to be a gear cluster attached to the rear wheel , this is connected to a lever on the handle bars, allowing you to move the chain to each of these gears to give different speeds. Usually between 3-6 gears on this.
Where are simple gears used?
An example of simple gears is the chain, chain-wheel and free-wheel sprocket as used on a single geared bicycle. More complicated gearing is the modern bicycle's derailleur system of multiply chain-wheels, a cluster of sprockets, a chain, and gear changer mechanism.
How are bicycle gears and sprockets related?
A sprocket is another name for a toothed wheel that meshes with the chain.
What will oiling the chain of a bicycle do?
Make it glide more smoothly and keep rust off of the chain and gears the chain touches.to reduce wear and unwanted friction
How camshaft connected to the crankshaft?
Usually by chain but could also be by gears or belt.
What type of symmetry does a bicycle have?
Mostly it is bilaterally symmetrical The pedals have an inverse mirror symmetry. The chain and gears are asymmetrical.
What are the parts of a bicycle?
wheels, spokes, chain, gears, handle bar, frame, pedals, seat, reflectors, brakes
What material is put on the gears and chain of a bicycle to make them work better?
A lubricant, like oil grease or wax.
How do you get the gears on your bicycle to align When on 7 the chain is on the 6th positon When on 1 the chain falls off?

How bicycles works?
A bicycle is one of the most efficient forms of transport. It works with pedals, which are connected via a chain to the back wheel. The rotation of the pedals moves the chain across gears on the rear wheel, rotating it. To change the gear ratio, the chain is moved to different sized gears of the wheel. The steering works by rotating the front wheel using the handle bars, reorienting the bicycle in a different direction. The brakes work with cables, pulling two rubber plates against the wheel. Newer models have circular plates, which lock onto the spokes of the wheel. This prevents the rubber from being worn down, and is more efficient.Manpower.Bicycle uses mechanical energy. It takes the principle of axle and chain. When we paddle, the chain rotates the axle and the wheel also revolves.The pedals on a bike are connected to a gear that turns the chain. The chain is also connected to a gear that is attached to, and therefore turns, the rear wheel. The rear gears are set up so that when turning forward the will turn the wheel but when turning backward or not moving at all the gears have no effect on the wheel. Different gears are used to gain more speed - a larger gear at the front means the smaller gear at the back will turn faster.bicycles work through a series of gears and pulleys that move when you petal your petals. When they move the gears and pulleys move thus making the wheels move, propelling you forward so long as you're balanced. that is how a bicycle works.
When you change your bike gears the chain does something?
Vague question, isn't clear if this is about a problem, or if this is about how a chain works. Basically what the chain does is to transfer force from the pedals to the rear(drive) wheel, thereby making the bicycle move. If you have external gears, then a gear change means that the gear has to move from one sprocket to another. If you have internal gears then the chain stays, and cogwheel inside the hub moves.
