0 to travel, especially down a hill, on a bicycle or in a vehicle without using the legs or engine to provide power --
The kinetic energy has now largely been converted to gravitational potential energy that can be released by freewheeling down the other side of the hill.
The fixed gear has no freewheel mechanism, so whenever the bike is in motion the pedals continue to spin.
The motor was not designed to come to an immediate halt when power was disconnected, but instead would freewheel to a halt relatively slowly.
A double freewheel, preferably using no-backlash roller clutches, is considered superior.
They employ a single fixed rear gear, or cog, that does not freewheel.
This is recommended in the case of a freewheel-threaded hub, which has sufficiently deep threads for this operation.
Policy experimentation is not equivalent to freewheeling trial and error or spontaneous policy diffusion.
Students and community leaders claimed the newly organized structure of the event destroyed the raucous and freewheeling nature of the gathering.
