Gears are a way of trading power for speed, so that you can keep spinning at a comfortable rate regardless if you are heading up hill, staying on the flat or going downhill under power.

Do you want your bike speed to be less to get faster time?

I think you mean bike gears, because a faster speed means a better time (the shorter it will take you to get to wherever you are going).That's just common sense.With bike gears though:Higher gears are tougher to petal but allow you to put more push into each stroke.Lower gears are easier to petal but you will petal a lot more often per rotation of the bike wheels.Example: If on high gears it takes you 5 pushes to get to your destination, it will take you 15 pushes with low gears.
