I got a bike for my birthday but I am a beginner and just learning how to use it. What do these things on the handlebar do? Additionally, is there a way to make the pedals harder to push? Because it gains speed quickly so it's harder for me to control. Also, one side of the brakes (the 3 speed side, which is the right side in the last picture) is harder to push than the other, is that normal?

we just had this exact post last week….
I always hated when people asked what the numbers meant, I’d always have to look. It’s like gears in your car.. 1 means you pedal a lot but can go up steep hills. 8 is like your high-speed cruising speed that’ll hard to be start in. It might be the other way around, I don’t know. Either way, you should just completely disregard the numbers and shift based on feel.. just play around, you’ll figure it out
