... wheel provides energy, movement, and direction. The larger the size of your wheel, the more distance you get for every rotation of the wheel. This is proven by using the formula for the circumference of a cycle C = Diameter * PI (Smith, 242). For example 26 inches is the diameter of a wheel on a bicycle, using the ... , you can find out that 81.64 inches is the distance around the wheel ((26)(3.14) = 81.64/12) = 6.8ft). So when the rider rotates his wheel once, using the formula, the rider has moved 6.8ft. The last important part of the bike is the gears. The gears of the bike are measur...
