Look at the chain rings -- the gears by the cranks. Are there two or three?

There are two chain rings.

This is so neat. We rode this morning. Although there were some hills, the trail was flatter than the ones I normally ride. WOW! I really increased my MPH! The trouble is, I love the challenge of the hills which of course lowers my MPH. I want to see if I can get up them while increasing my speeds. I do plan to ride one of the long flat trails and see what happens.

There are two hills that I look at and immediately get off my bike and walk. The seem to be at 90 degree angle and are very short. It takes a lot of stamina just for me to walk up them. I have tried to climb them periodically with no success. I have seen the really good riders struggle to get up them. And they are clipless and have really light expensive carbon bicycles. .
