How do you operate a gear bicycle?
964921
All bicyles are geared, unless you have a one to one ratio like a penny farthing or a big wheel (which is a tricycle, so ignore that lol!).\n\nEven if it is fixed gears/ single speed, the bicylce still has a gearing because that is what lets you pedal one rotation with your legs but do more than one rottion with the wheel.  A non-geared bicylce would mean (if you had a normal sized wheel) having to pedal like a gerbil at speeds higher than three miles an hour, and if you have a massive wheel so you don;t have to pedal like crazy to go three miles an hour (like a penny farthing), then you have trouble starting the damn thing, plus the trouble of having a massive wheel to climb on to every time you want to ride/ fall off of when you crash.\n\nSo, I guess you mean a bicylce with more than one speed gearing.  Well, it is like riding any bicycle.  You get on the bike, then pedal and steer by leaning and using your arms to turn the bars slightly.  You brake using the levers on the handlebars, or by pedalling back if you have a coaster brake.  if you don't have any brakes, stick your feet in the wheels, but be careful with the front as footjamming brings the back of the cike up and may throw you off.\n\nIn terms of changin gears, you will have some sort of gear shifting mechanism on the bars.  You will have one for the front rings and one for the rear cassette.  Lower gears are for riding up hill, higher gears for riding down hill.\n\nTo change gears, you should be pedaling.  Shiftin gears when not pedalling can confuse the system and mean the chain jumps when you do start to pedal.  Also, change up or down one gear at a time, don;t jump a whole raft of them in one shift for the same reason.\n\nSo, you pedal, and depending on what mechanism you have, you either twist your grip to the desired gear, or you flick a little switch/ lever that changes gear for you.\n\nhttp://www.westernveil.com/

If the bicycle is older, or has been used extensively, the chainring(s) (i.e. the large circular piece to which the pedals are connected) may be worn and in need of replacing (which can be expensive -- can you see the teeth of the chainring poking out of the top of the chain?).  Or the chain may need replaced.  Or your front and/or rear derailleur(s) may need adjusted.\n\nTake you bike in for some service.

You have a bevel gear on the end of the drive shaft (the input shaft to the differential). This gear right-angle drives a large "planetary" or ring gear that rotates about the axle but is not attached to it directly, but is attached via a yoke that carries two intermediate bevel gears, and these gears mesh with the gears that drive the two wheels. (You really need to look at the ref.) When the two wheels want to rotate at the same speed, the two bevel gears do not need to rotate and the transmission acts like a simple nondifferential mechanism. However any differential motion of the wheels is accommodated by rotation of the intermediate gears.\nP.S. For some reason I had to go to another page (at the ref. website) and then back to get the animations to work right.

Check out this link and I think its your manual.\n\nhttp://www.giant-bicycle.com/images/_upload_us/owner_manuals/Final.pdf\n\nIf that isnt what you are looking for, you can find a dealer here and maybe you can order it.\n\nhttp://www.giant-bicycle.com/us/000.000.000/000.000.000.asp

apply 1st gear, give high raise & maintain it & suddenly leave clutch & maintain balance.-       Wheeling.\nAt speed of 40 hold ur steering tight & apply disc brakes. -    Stoppies

I think you are referring to a trainer.  These attach to your rear wheel and provide resistance as you pedal.  There are many brands and models out there.  Do a quick internet search for bike trainer and you will see.  You can also get them on-line or from your local bike store.  Depending on your local shop, they may even have some set-up that you can try.  Expect to pay anywhere from 100-500 dollars, but most are in the 200-300 range.

do you mean shifting?\ndo one at a time while pedaling easy...\nyry to keep the chain as straight as necessary to avoid too much 'crossover'

it is under Dodge tool. Or you can use Shift+O to cycle through Dodge, Burn and Sponge tools.

How many gears do you have?

Pretty general question not knowing forces needed, space conisderations, and operating conditions. Lots of gears are stock and can simply be ordeed online IF you know the parameters.

Make sure to wear a helmet and shoes.\n\nStart at a slow speed. You will pick up speed as you go. Pull up on the handle bars and at the same time do a strong pedal. Be careful not to pull over.  Make sure you are standing up. Any fat tire (mountain bike type) would do. The higher the handle bars the easier. Once up, try not to pedal too fast, just fast enough to keep the front end up. The more you practice, the further you can go. Try to compete against your friends.
