Poster Print : Bicycle gears
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Bicycle gears
Bicycle gear mechanism. The peddle and chain wheel (top right corner) are turned by the rider. This turning force is transferred to the rear wheel by a toothed chain (running centre right to bottom left). The chain runs through the cogged gears (freewheel, centre left) and turns the back wheel, propelling the bicycle forward. The gears have different ratios that can change one revolution of the chain wheel into less than, more than or exactly one revolution of the rear wheel. The gears are changed by means of a derailleur (lower left) which moves the chain between gears

Discover the intricacy of motion with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image of "Bicycle Gears" by Science Photo Library. This visually striking print showcases the intricate bicycle gear mechanism, where the pedal and chain wheel's rotation transmits power to the rear wheel via a toothed chain. A perfect addition to any workspace, home office, or bike enthusiast's space, this print not only adds a touch of sophistication but also serves as a reminder of the beautiful science behind the simple act of riding a bicycle. Order yours today and let the wonder of mechanics inspire you every day!
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of bicycle gears, revealing the inner workings of this beloved mode of transportation. Positioned in the top right corner, we see the peddle and chain wheel that are turned by the rider's force. As this force is transferred through a toothed chain running diagonally from centre right to bottom left, it engages with cogged gears located at the center left - known as freewheels - ultimately propelling the rear wheel forward. What makes these gears truly fascinating is their ability to transform one revolution of the chain wheel into less than, more than, or exactly one revolution of the rear wheel. This ratio-changing feature allows cyclists to adapt their speed and power output according to various terrains and riding conditions. To facilitate gear changes seamlessly, a derailleur mechanism can be found in the lower left portion of this image. The derailleur efficiently moves the chain between different gears with precision and ease. Through its depiction of these essential components, this print not only celebrates technology but also highlights eco-friendly travel options like cycling. It serves as a reminder that bicycles are much more than familiar objects; they embody sustainable mobility solutions for individuals seeking greener alternatives in their daily lives.
