i love biking around my neighborhood when i get bored, but i dont know what the levels on my bike mean or how i should use them. by the left break there are 3 levels. by the right break there are 7. so when should i use each level? i dont understand! thanks o and not mortorcycling like actual bike pedaling riding
 
those are the gears on your bike. there are 21 gears in total.
start with 1 set on both levers, this is first gear. as you pick up speed and pedaling becomes easier, change to 2 on the right hand lever. repeat this process until you reach 7. at this stage turn the left hand gear lever to 2, and the right hand lever back to 1. this engages the second set of 7 gears within the 21. progress through the right hand lever numbers 1-7 as you increase speed. use setting 3 on the left hand lever for the final set of 7 of the 21 gears.
