Best for you is to use a gear that'll allow you to turn the cranks at 80-100 turns/minute. Best for the bike (if you have external gears) is to keep the chain running as straight as possible.( Don't run it in big-big or small/small)

Is it true a vehicle going downhill should yield to the vehicle going uphill?

Yes, it is generally true that a vehicle going downhill should yield to a vehicle going uphill. This is because the vehicle going uphill has the right of way, as it may have a more difficult time maintaining momentum or may need to stop and start again. However, specific rules can vary by location, so it's always best to check local traffic regulations.


How do you properly execute gear shifting on a bike?

To properly execute gear shifting on a bike, you should anticipate the terrain and adjust your gears accordingly. Use the right hand to shift the rear gears and the left hand to shift the front gears. Shift to a lower gear when going uphill and to a higher gear when going downhill or on flat terrain. Make sure to pedal lightly while shifting to avoid damaging the gears.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of using high gears versus low gears on a bike?

Using high gears on a bike can make pedaling easier and faster, which is advantageous for riding on flat terrain or going downhill. However, it can be harder to pedal uphill or start from a stop. On the other hand, low gears make it easier to pedal uphill or start from a stop, but can make it harder to pedal at high speeds or on flat terrain.

How do you properly change gears on a bike?

To properly change gears on a bike, use the gear shifters to move the chain onto a different gear. Shift to a lower gear when going uphill or starting from a stop, and shift to a higher gear when going downhill or riding at a faster pace on flat terrain. Make sure to pedal lightly while shifting to avoid damaging the gears.
