Bicycles as a rule haven't got reverse gears. There are a few rare 2-speed hubs, where pedalling backwards will engage the lower gear. The bike will still move in the same direction though.
In practical terms you're better off putting your foot down and and pushing backwards with that.
If you insist on being able to pedal backwards the cheapest way to set that up would be with a so-called fixie. A fixie is a bike w/o freewheel, so whichever direction you push the pedals in the bike will go.
Otherwise I suppose one could build something up around a planetary gear somehow.
It would be possible to build a freehub with opposing ratchet mechanisms that would allow a shift from forwards to reverse with a lever.

Well, part of physical science is simple machines and compound machines. The simple machines are the gear, screw, wedge, lever, pulley, and wheel and axle, and inclined plane. A bicycle is a compound machine. It is made up of the wheel and axle, gear, pulley, and lever. so it corresponds with that part of PHYSICAL SCIENCE. Hope this answer helped!!!

Do NASCARs race cars have a reverse?
Yes, nascar race cars have a reverse. They are standard 4-speed Manual transmissions, in a not-so-standard car. They are anything but standard four-speeds. Everyone uses Jerico transmissions, which are made for ease of changing the gear cluster. If you want a different gear ratio in the car, you open the little door in the floorplan, open the top of the transmission, and do your work. Very simple and direct. They also definitely have reverse.
