2. Bicycle gearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_gearing

   A single-speed bicycle is a type of bicycle with a single gear ratio and a freewheel mechanism. These bicycles are without derailleur gears, hub gearing or other methods for varying the gear ratio of the bicycle. Adult single-speed bicycles typically have a gear ratio of between 55 and 75 gear inches, depending on the rider and the anticipated ...

4. Bicycle performance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performance

   The fitness and cadence of the rider, bicycle tire pressure and sizes, gear ratios, slope of the terrain affect the overall speed of the rider. A person pedalling with 100 W power can achieve 5.5 m/s on a roadster, 7.5 m/s on a racing bicycle, 10 m/s with a faired HPV and 14 m/s with an ultimate HPV.

6. Hub gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hub_gear

   A hub gear, [1] internal-gear hub, [2] internally geared hub [3] or just gear hub [4] is a gear ratio changing system commonly used on bicycles that is implemented with planetary or epicyclic gears. The gears and lubricants are sealed within the shell of the hub gear, in contrast with derailleur gears where the gears and mechanism are exposed ...

   A very popular "off road" mountain bike gearing, for the 26″ wheel size, is 39:18, approximately a 2:1 gear ratio and 56.35 gear inches, for versatile trail riding. A great "on road" gear ratio, for the 26″ wheel, is 42:17, approximately a 2.5:1 ratio and 64.2 gear inches for versatile tour riding.

8. Cadence (cycling) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_(cycling)

   Cadence can be measured via various types of sensors, for example a simple reed switch and a magnet which detects one revolution each time the crank arm passes a point on the frame, or more advanced sensors based on a force sensor (e.g. pedals), torque sensor (e.g. crank arms) or other types of cycling power sensors.

9. Fixed-gear bicycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-gear_bicycle

   A track bicycle or track bike is a form of fixed-gear bicycle optimized for racing at a velodrome or at an outdoor track. Some road racing and club cyclists use a fixed-gear bicycle for training during the winter months, generally using a relatively low gear ratio, believed to help develop a good pedalling style. [5]
