ABSTRACT:
A drive for a bicycle provided on the side of its pedals with a freewheel of two or more front chain sprockets, in which the rotational resistance of a rear multiple freewheel in its free rotation is larger than that of the front freewheel in its free rotation so that a driving chain may, even when pedalling is stopped in running of the bicycle, travel across both the front and rear freewheels for changing speed. The drive utilizes a force F.sub.1 of an energizing spring for a chain guide cage of a rear derailleur which is respectively larger than a resistance F.sub.2 applied to the chain in speed change by a front derailleur, and a rotational resistance F.sub.3 of the rear freewheel.
