a bike chain basically does two things:
it transmits power from where the rider can easily deliver it to the rear Wheel
it creates a gearing ratio between how fast the pedals turn and how fast the rear wheel turns.
If wheel and pedals turn at the same speed, the overall speed for the bike becomes quite limited.
