Hi Piseth! Keep it simple. Tell them to use a "Low gear" for pedaling up hills (it is easier to push), and a "High gear" for flat roads or going downhill to get more speed. A hybrid bike is great for showing them this! 🚲

Both are totally fine! Americans spell it "Tire", and the British, Australians, and New Zealanders spell it "Tyre". Since many tourists in Cambodia come from all over, they will understand both! 🌍
