Why did bicycles have huge wheels back then?

Because if you have the pedals stuck to the wheel axle, and no gearing inbetween, the only way to get some useful speed out of the bike is to have a really large wheel.Because before the chain drive and gearing was invented, bikes were direct drive - meaning that the drive wheel spun at the same rate as the pedals. The only way to get some speed out of the bike then was to make the drive wheel really big.Once the chain drive made it easy to add a gearing ratio wheels could be built with equally sized wheels and a better rider position.


All wheel drive?

All wheel drive,also known as 4wd is when all 4 wheels spin to give you traction. 4wd systems are all not the same,there are limited slip differentals,and true 4wd. The limited slip differental is when all the wheels spin,but when you hit a log or a large rock it leaves you stuck in 3wd you aren't going anywhere, the only advantage is you get good traction in wet areas. True 4wd is when just the two back wheels spin,and when you hit a log or large rock the system will scence that the back wheels are slipping and deliver full tourque to both front wheels and you will climb right over the log or large rock,true4wd also has better traction than the limited slip differental in wet areas.If you have a true4wd system and you want all the wheels to spin without having to hit a log,just back up about 10 feet.

why does some lawnmower have large rear wheels and the front one small?

The small front wheels allow the wheels to be turned in the alloted space. Additionally, the front axle is a dead axle - it does not drive the machine - so the need for traction and weight distribution on that axle is much less than it is for the live (rear) axle.
