Una cadena de bicicleta está formada por unos eslabones unidos mediante cojinetes. Los eslabones son básicamente dos placas metálicas paralelas; los cojinetes son unos elementos diseñados para poder crear una unión móvil y de poco rozamiento. Una cadena transmite muy bien una fuerza longitudinal: prácticamente todo la energía que se le aplica en los platos llega hasta los piñones.
