In a fixed-gear bicycle, without a freewheel, the rear wheel drives the pedals around.

The Shimano Front Freewheel (FFS) was a proprietary bicycle drivetrain design of the 1970s that placed a freewheel between the pedal cranks and the front chainrings – enabling the rider to shift gears while coasting.
