It's usually small ring for steep hills, middle ring for gradual hills, flat and pulling off the lights, outer ring for flat and downhill, though to be honest some hills you can just coast down, leaving it in a low gear for the bottom. Of course it's somewhat dependent on the choice of gearing on the bike.

Question, I am trying to figure out the best gear to have my bike in while riding on the road with various pitches but I cannot figure out the best gear and my legs are on fire by the time I'm done & very sore the next day. Can you please help trying to explain to me what the best gear should feel like? Is that even possible to explain? I feel like I am dying riding my bike while my partner is not breaking a sweat or getting any kind of work out at all.

Hi, Thank you for watching the video. My opinion is that the feeling of the legs on fire is totally normal. The more you go for a ride the less pain you are going feel. The good thing about this particular pain is that this is a good pain to have. One thing that definitely may help you lessen the pain is stretching your legs before and after you ride your bike. In regards to your partner ........your partner may not be braking a sweat but your partner is for sure getting a workout. Hope this help. Thank you. Have a nice day and stay safe

If you want proper names of the components, the part you shift with are shifters The gears at the back are called a cassette, The gears and crank at the front are called the crankset which consists of the chainrings(there can be 1-3 gears on the front), and the part the pedals are attached to are the cranks. The chai is just called ........ well the chain

Thank you for your input. I do actually know the correct names of the "components" of the bicycle. , however, when a lawyer, a doctor, a scientist and bla bla bla bla, when they use plain terminology that people understand, in other words plain English people are more than likely to return to their services. I have chosen to use plain terms in this video. Secondly, this video is not about the correct names or PROPER NAMES of the bicycle , this video is not about that so if you are here to look for the proper names of the bicycle parts then you have the wrong video. Have a wonderful day and thanks for watching! Feel free to spend a little time reading the comments.
