Disclosed is an adjustable speed gear apparatus that is installed on the hub shaft of the rear wheel of a bicycle to increase the driving speed and moving distance of the bicycle by two or more times on the average by improving the internal structure thereof in such a way so as to strengthen the support force of a transmission gear and to increase the coupling force between components, and can make the bicycle compact and light by constituting the wheels and crank of the bicycle to be small in size. A plurality of latch stoppers are formed in the middle of the inner circumferential surface of a ring gear of the adjustable speed gear apparatus for a bicycle such that the latch stoppers are connected to each other so as to be directed toward one direction similar to saw-toothed wheels; gear tooth forms are formed on a side of the inner circumferential surface of the ring gear, which has a relatively large diameter; a plurality of planetary gears are disposed to be engaged with the gear tooth forms to revolve along the radial inner circumference of the ring gear; a sun gear is disposed between the planetary gears so as to be engaged with the planetary gears; a plurality of first latch insertion recesses are formed on a side of the radial outer circumferential surface of the sun gear; a first latch and a first latch spring are disposed in each of the first latch insertion recesses; and the first latch is disposed to be selectively stopped by the latch stoppers of the ring gear.
