How to Shift Gears on a Huffy 3-speed Bike

Having a bicycle with more than one speed allows you to ride over uneven terrain without over-straining your legs. Shifting to first gear on your Huffy 3-speed bike allows you to travel uphill with less difficulty. If you are spinning the pedals too quickly for your comfort, shifting to second or third gear can slow your pedaling to a speed you feel more comfortable with. Knowing how to shift gears on your Huffy 3-speed bike allows you to experience a more comfortable ride.

Instructions

1. Pedal the Huffy 3-speed bike forward.

2. Move the thumb shift lever on the Huffy bike's handlebar to one of the three gears available. Continue to move the shift lever until you hear the lever "click" in place.

3. Continue to pedal the bike as the derailleur moves the chain from its current gear sprocket to the one you requested.
