Both, and several inbetween. The gear is chosen to get the same pedalling effort regardless if the course is uphill, flat or downhill at the moment.

Ans 2 - Most pro riders will use all the gears necesary to maintain a good 'spin' speed. (rpm of the crank )

What are the differences between riding a bike in high gear and low gear, and how do you determine which gear to use for optimal performance?

Riding a bike in high gear requires more effort but allows for faster speeds, while low gear is easier but slower. To determine which gear to use for optimal performance, consider the terrain and your desired speed. Use high gear for flat surfaces or downhill rides, and low gear for uphill climbs or when starting from a stop.

Why would low gear not work but high gear will on 13 double over?

A double over bicycle will have two gears for the chain and it allows for easier pedaling up and down hills. When you are in a low gear, you will find that having the chain on the smaller gear will work better than having it on the large gear, which should be reserved for the high gear.
