I have a few questions about Bike Gears...
1. Why do you need to pedal faster to go at the same speed when your bicycle is in lower gear?
Is it because, when you are in low gear, you have to pedal faster because you have to trade force with speed. So you get to use less force , but you go slower? And then in high gear, if you want you require more force and go faster?
2. Which gear helps you go faster on level ground and why?
Because you have to use more force but you can go farther, but why on level ground, is it because it is harder to apply effort force on the pedals when on an incline? So when on level ground, gravity isn't acting on you as much as it would a hill?
3. Why do you use low gear when going up hills? Is it because you are using less force, but you have to pedal faster, but the work is spread over a distance? Then you don't use as much effort trying to push the pedals, but in return, you go slower. But it is all spread over a distance..... (So confused... >.<;;
(I hope you can understand what I said.... I hate science >.<)
