           Bicycles are tools for people to walk, the easier and more flexible they should be ridden, so the area where the bicycle bearings rotate is generally equipped with steel balls, which is the ball bearings mentioned below. The role of steel balls is to reduce friction, protect parts, improve the efficiency of use, as we all know, at the same pressure, rolling friction is much less than sliding friction, if lubricating oil is often added to it, the oil film will make the contact surface separate, we use bicycles will also be more labor-saving.
