A backward pedaling bicycle comprises a frame, a rearward wheel and forward wheel rotatably coupled to the frame, a driving gear coupled to the rearward wheel, a pedaling gear rotatably coupled to the frame, first and second redirection gears rotatably coupled to the frame, a roller chain operatively coupled to the driving gear, the pedaling gear, and the first and second redirection gears, and an elongated steering stem and handle bars coupled to the frame and positioned to facilitate an upright seating position of the rider while pedaling and holding the handle bars. Accordingly, backward pedaling by the rider about the pedaling gear rotates the driving gear in a forward rotational direction via the first and second redirection gears, thereby causing forward propulsion of the backward pedaling bicycle. The first and second redirection gears can each be coupled between the pedaling gear and an axis of rotation of the forward wheel.
