How do you properly use the gear shift on a bike?

To properly use the gear shift on a bike, you should first understand how the gears work. Lower gears are for easier pedaling on inclines or starting from a stop, while higher gears are for faster speeds on flat terrain. To shift gears, use the gear shift levers on the handlebars to move the chain onto a different gear. Shift to a lower gear when going uphill or starting, and shift to a higher gear when riding on flat ground or going downhill. Make sure to pedal lightly while shifting to avoid damaging the gears.
