Abstract
The bicycle drive mechanism is intended to emulate the behavior of contemporary multiple sprocket bicycle drive mechanisms while comprising far fewer components. In operation force is transmitted to a first drive sprocket which has the capability to absorb much of the inertial load. A second sprocket on the rear wheel of the bicycle is connected by a chain to the first drive sprocket in the usual fashion. Energy stored in the drive sprocket is gradually released as momentum is increased, thereby easing muscle strain upon the rider.
