Bikes are generally made from steel, aluminum, plastic, carbon fiber, and less commonly bamboo. The main parts of a bike are the frame, saddle, fork, handlebars, wheels, crankset, pedals, gears, shifters, brakes, chain, and cables.

The frame provides the bike's shape and structure. The saddle is the seat. The fork guides the stearing through the handlebars. The wheels and tires are what propel you across the ground. The crankset are the front chain rings and the crank arms which attach to the pedals. They allow you to apply force to the system. That force then travels along the chain to the rear gears and then to the rear wheel which turns the wheel and pushes the bike. The shifters change the gearing via cable. The brakes stop the bike.
