Why Cycle industry is back ?

Question

Why they not able to increase bicycle's speed without getting much amount of energy so that anyone can travel 10-15km easily with nearly 15-25 kmph speed ?

I think this will reduce pollution when so many people use bicycles instead of cars & bikes !!

Answer 1

Yes, you are right. Cycles with gear serve your purpose, but people feel shy in using a bicycle - instead use a car to maintain status in the society.

Answer 2

due to the large population

Answer 3

good question,  I guess it is about gear ratios.  imagine ending up with over 40 gears and a front gear cog half the size of the wheel.

You would need to keep gears for slow speeds but have BIG gears for faster speed  (and the gears in between for smooth changing)

having said that I'm sure someone could come up with it.

have a star!!!

Answer 4

No one prevents anyone from using cycle for commuting.

All it takes is fancy for high end gadgets to be curtailed.

Answer 5

Cycle industry had not gone anywhere, so how can it be back?

Anyone can travel 15-20 km at 15-20 kmph speed if one wants.

Where is the problem?
