High (Gear)
From WikiPedalia
A high gear is one in which the pedals move slowly compared to the speed of the wheels. High gears are achieved by using large chainwheels and small rear sprockets.
High gears are for going fast, when the terrain permits. The rider must push much harder on the pedals in a high gear, so high gears are not suitable for lower-speed riding, due to the great strain that hard, slow pedaling puts on the joints.
