An old-fashioned penny-farthing or ordinary has one high wheel directly driven by the pedals and one small wheel. A dwarf bicycle has a chain-driven front wheel, exemplified by the Kangaroo. On an upright bicycle, also called a safety bicycle, the rider sits astride the saddle. On a recumbent bicycle the rider reclines or lies supine.
Chainrings (also called "chain rings", [11] "chainwheels" or "sprockets", although sprocket is used this way mostly in the BMX community [3]) engage the chain to transfer power to the (usually rear) wheel. They usually have teeth spaced to engage every link of the chain as it passes over; however, in the past, some designs (called skip-tooth or ...

A shaft-driven bicycle is a bicycle that uses a drive shaft instead of a chain to transmit power from the pedals to the wheel. Shaft drives were introduced in the 1880s, but were mostly supplanted by chain-driven bicycles due to the gear ranges possible with sprockets and derailleurs. Around the 2000s, due to advancements in internal gear ...
