After watching several videos, this is the only video that actually explains how and when to shift gears!! THANK SO MUCH!!!

Bought a 7 speed mountain bike today. Have never rode a geared bicycle before. I watched a bunch of "expert" videos on gear changing before this and they were so indirect and full of jargon that they went straight over my head. You have broken the entire process down into such simple, and easy to understand language. Perfect for beginners like me. Thanks for posting this video. Highly informative.

I've watched a lot of gear shifting tips videos and this is easily the best one I've come across.

I loved your rate of speech and technical analysis 😍

I just bought a bike for first time in years. Getting into cycling and don't know anything. This was a perfect explanation. Thank you

OMG! THANK YOU !! Finally someone who shows the handlebars! When I'm riding I'm not looking at the sprockets. Everyone else shows how the sprockets work. I don't care how they work because I'm not trying to build a bike, I'm trying to ride one! You just simply showed me what button to push and why. Again, thank you for clear communication.

This video was my lightbulb moment, I watched a few videos and this was the one that made sense to me and I now finally understand gears on a bike..🎉

Ok so hear me out. This video is the most basic, no high quality,fancy equipment video that talks about shifting gears that i have seen in the last two weeks. I’m new to bikes so i don’t understand the shifting yet. Other videos help somewhat but not like this one. I feel like this video broke it down way better than some of the other guys I’ve seen talking about this topic. When i saw the lady in the thumb nail I said to my self, “I bet this lady will be better than the guys”. Sure enough, I was right. Thank you. I will rewatch this video a few times to make sure I get it down.

Thank you. Being new to the bike world, I have seen several videos on bicycle gears, and this is by far the best!

This is the ONLY video that helped me understand gears from a beginner's standpoint. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Best information I have found that is explained slow enough for compression.

Watched several videos on this topic. This is the first one I could understand. Thanks!

I took my new bike out for my first ride today and thought something was wrong with it. Came home and watched a couple of videos on how to change gears. When I got to yours all my problems were solved. Nothing wrong with the bike, it was my lack of knowledge. Just got back from my second ride today and all went well. I can't thank you enough. You're the best!

This lady explains it better than anyone else

This was such a helpful video! My boyfriend just bought be a mountain bike for Christmas and I’ve never owned one so I need all the help I can get. Thanks! The only two videos I’ve come across that have been truly broken down and helpful have both been by women. The videos from “professionals” are not helpful at all.

Best video on changing gears. I’ve watched about 6.

this video has been a lifesaver for me!!! THANK YOU for clearly and concisely BREAKING DOWN gear shifting!

Absolutely amazing video. Now I know how to change gear . Thank you

Thank you so much. So well explained. Perfect video for beginners. Couldn’t find one for the longest time.

Very well done. Both my wife and I now understand. That makes you one great teacher!

Thanks very much as a new bike owner at age 61 this was the best video I have seen on gearing. I got to understand this quickly as you explained very well. Now all I need to do is put it into practice.

That was an amazing explanation. Thank you. New to cycling and you have made my life so much easier! Many, many thanks from Wales, UK.

Thank you I have just watched a dozen videos and this is the first one which has broken it down, so l can understand which gear l need to use! “Experts” usually explain in a way that goes straight over my head - simply giving a strategy of using low numbers together and high numbers together makes sense. You have also explained why l sometimes fail to change between gears. l am off for a ride to try it out!

I can't tell you how thankful I am for this video. I got thumb shifters for the first time when I upgraded my bike and I've been trying to find videos about it everywhere but everyone just keeps showing videos of their chains which I understand, but not what I was looking for lol thank you! Such a simple thing now that I know🤣 I appreciate you 🙏

Lovely. Tou made gear shifting so easy and doable... got myself a gt agressor and i can say i now understand gear shifting thanks to you.

Thanks so much, i have been searching for videos who are actually shifting gears, im 2 days old biker and i dont know how to shift, it's good you actually showed it, thanks.

This has been the best video by far that I have seen to help me learn to shift gears on my new bike. Thanks so much for the information.

This is the first video I’ve found that’s thoroughly given such an easily understandable analysis for how and when to shift gears. Fantastic resource!

Thank you so much! this video is the only video that really explain the whys and hows. Please share it so more people can learn and remove that feeling that the bike is broken

This is so helpful! I haven’t rode a bike in a long time, so now I feel more confident using my gears!

Thanks Deb! I’m completely new to cycling and found this really helpful.

Omg so grateful for this video. I actually understood why when and how 👏🏽

The best video I've seen on how to properly shift gears - clear and concise instructions! Thank You!!

Thank you for this videos! Best for newbies like me😀I am so grateful!

You've cleared up some things I just didn't get. You're awesome! Thank you.

Best video on gear shifting i watched so far on YT. Thanks!

Thank you for explaining gears in simplest way possible.

Thank you for the video, I purchased my very first flat bar road bike recently and had no idea how to use the gears. This video is very informative

Thank you for this video tutorial. Clear, simple and easy to understand - confusion with my bike and and its gears dealt with. Thank you!

I just bought my first “adult “ bicycle and although I know how to ride it, I am still so confused about the gears and what I need to “do” to shift them. Your video has helped me tremendously. One of the only few videos I watched that made it click in my head how to do it!

Thank you. This was excellent!

Very well done. Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

That was so helpful!! I was getting annoyed by other videos where guys were not straight to the point and explaining this in a very complex way. Thank you!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful.

Nice, clear and concise, covered everything I wanted to know!

You are the Mrs. Puff of cycles. Best explanation I have seen.

Just got a Trek Marlin 5 after not riding a bike in 20 years and this really helped me understand gears again. All the other videos are a bit over complicated and this really is simple terms. Thank you!

Indeed this is exactly what we are looking for in such a video

Thank you! Just watched a couple of other videos and your video by far Re: shifting is the best. Just purchased a new bike and wanted to better understand shifting and some people get so bogged down in jargon, they lose their audience. You gave just the basics, I appreciate that. Also, the tone in which you speak assisted. The other videos, they spoke so quickly, it was hard to follow, so thank you!

Your step by step instructions are simply superb. I really enjoyed and learned it .

Thank you for that info very helpful, just have new Trek Fx1 and that video help me and my wife to understand shifting gear very well.

This video was everything! You took your time explaining the details and I’m appreciative by far the best video thanks so much!

Excellent video, very concise. Thank you!

Thank you. I have not ridden my bike for a few years, and this was a really helpful refresher on how to change gears. You explained it very well. Thanks again !

Thanks for posting a basic and easy video to follow....unlike many on here !!

Hi mate, Thank you for the great tutorial on gearing. I haven't had anything to do with push bike for about 40+ years. My old bike from a kid Had No gears to choose from. The bike that's just been given to me has...27 ...3×9=27 if that is how you work them out??? I'm 60 in a few months and I've gone back to my teens.... I'm repairing a push bike which I haven't done since I was about 14 ...... getting it in good working order again so I can start riding a bike again👍👍🚲 Ambulance to be on speed dail & them on stand by🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Bikes are sure Not as easy as they use to be to work on...... Thank God for KZfaq and Wonderful people like yourself that help and re-teach silly old farts like me😀👍👍🚲 Wish me luck...I might need it. I haven't ridden a push bike for at least 🤔???? 35-40 years 🙄🥴🥴 Many thank again mate, Annie Qld, Australia

This is the simplest video to understand from the 3 others I have watched. Thank you

By far the best video in the matter, thanks a lot

Great vid. Straightforward. Thank you.

Thank you so much!! You have the best video on gear shifting.

I appreciate this info! I'm a long time fixed gear rider and never really cared for gears but getting a little older and need to give my knees a break. This video was very helpful.

Definitely the best explanation I have seen, thank you.

Great Basic class, have a great day.

This is an excellent video! The pace was really great and the explanations were clear. Just bought a Liv Giant bike after not having ridden for 30 years. I'm ready to take it on!

This is the best video on gear shifting, bar none. Excellent! Excellent!

Thank you for actually explaining this with some ease and clarity. All the other videos say they are going to do that but then go off on tangents. This was perfect.

This video was very helpful you're an awesome teacher! thank you !👌

i'm new to bikes and this video helped me out a lot! thank you very much

Thank you so much, you've made it so easy for me to understand the gears

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I have watched a fair few videos which all showed part of this process, but your is the most comprehensive and I now understand it clearly, you are a great teacher.

Thank you for taking the time to explain thumb shifters!!!

Really excellent video. Actually, one of the best instructional videos I've ever watched. I'll ride (and shift) with more confidence after watching this. Thank you!

Thank you for a very helpful video. You are very knowledgeable in a nice, calm and friendly manner. And you look cute doing it!!!😉

Thank you so much! I bought my mountain bike second hand when I was maybe 12 and never knew how those work, I don't know why it took me so long to find out but im glad this wonderful video exists ❤

Honestly the best gear shifting instructional on KZfaq

I didn’t learn to ride a bike as a kid and now have a fancy to me bike and struggle with shifting. I don’t ride often enough to have muscle memory established. This video makes me want to ride and has so many good, simple tips that I think I might finally get the hang of shifting. Thanks so much!

best video i have found!! undestood everything

This IS the video to watch. So beautifully explained, like an expert teacher.

Finally found a video that can explain it easily. Thank you so much!

Best and easiest explanation for gear shifting. Thank you!

Beautifully explained..... Never knew importance of keeping the chain straight.....now I realized how crucial it is for long life of my sprockets and chain.....

I'm new to shifters. I will enjoy my new Schwinn even more now that I have a real good grounding in shifter operation thanks to this Bicycles East presentation. Instructor was fantastic! Everything I needed. Practical, easy to understand very well put together. Clearly, you had me in mind. : ) Great job! Thanks
