    Little ring at front + big sprocket at rear = lowest gear (easiest to push)
    Big ring at front + little sprocket at rear = highest gear (hardest to push)

    Cadence = how fast you are pedalling (revs per minute)

    Use your gears to keep your legs turning at a comfortable cadence rather than grinding a huge gear up a hill.

    Alles klar?
