What is the difference of different types of bicycles?

What is the difference of different types of bicycles?
Hi, I recently stumbled upon this question and i was just wondering if any bicycle experts out here could help me with their vast knowledge.
In terms of efficiency, what is the difference of direct drive, single, speed , derailleur systems and internal hub gears systems on bicycles?
Thank you very much

    Performance, weight, speed, comfort and the type of riding you are doing.

    A single speed or fixed gear is great if you do easy commutes: no hills or speed records (cruiser)

    A dérailleur is used for multiple gears like a road bike, Hybrid or a Mtn. bike to allow you to change gears for hills or speed.

    Internal hubs are great for cruisers that want that extra help up hill without worrying about your chain coming off, or losing the look of a fixed gear.
