摘要： A method for controlling electronic shifting of a bicycle includes identifying, by a processor, sensor data. The sensor data identifies a state of the bicycle. The processor determines a rider engagement status based on the identified sensor data. The processor determines a target cadence based on the determined rider engagement status. The processor determines a cadence band based on the determined target cadence. The electronic shifting of the bicycle is controlled based on the determined cadence band. The controlling of the electronic shifting of the bicycle includes actuating a motor of the bicycle for electronic shifting of the bicycle when a cadence of the bicycle is outside of the determined cadence band.

摘要： A method for controlling electronic shifting of a bicycle includes identifying, by a processor, a gear shift command. The processor adjusts a cadence band based on the identified gear shift command. The cadence band includes an upper cadence limit and a lower cadence limit. Adjusting the cadence band includes increasing the upper cadence limit, decreasing the lower cadence limit, or increasing the upper cadence limit and decreasing the lower cadence limit. The electronic shifting of the bicycle is controlled based on the adjusted cadence band.

摘要： A bicycle operating apparatus includes a base member, an operating member, an electrical switch, a wireless transmitter, and a power supply device. The base member is configured to be attached to a bicycle body. The operating member is movably mounted to the base member configured to be operated by a user. The electrical switch is configured to be activated by an input operation from the user. The wireless transmitter is configured to be electrically connected to the electrical switch and is configured to wirelessly transmit a signal to an additional bicycle component in response to the input operation. The power supply device is configured to supply electrical power to at least one of the electrical switch and the wireless transmitter. The wireless transmitter and the power supply are mounted to the base member.
