The invention discloses an automatic downshifting and variable speed transmission bicycle, comprising a bicycle stand, wherein the bicycle stand is installed with a bottom bracket; the bottom bracket is installed with a bottom bracket sprocket set, and the bottom bracket sprocket set is composed of three chain discs of different sizes; a rear axle of the bicycle is provided with a tower footing, and the tower footing is fixedly installed with a sun gear; one side of the sun gear is provided with a planet carrier, and the planet carrier is installed with planetary twin gears. The invention is easy to start, can run at high speed, has multiple functions, and is reliable in operation, with convenient maintenance and low cost, and is energy saving and environmental-friendly; it has a good market prospect and brings great convenience to cyclists.

A bicycle control system may be configured to automatically control a bicycle, or components thereof. The bicycle control system may include a system control device configured to provide a simplified shifting system wherein large changes in speed associated with starting and stopping do not require the full attention of the automatic shifting system. The shifting system, or a system control device configured for controlling the shifting system, may be configured to determine when to enter an automatic shifting control mode, establish parameters for the automatic shifting of the automatic shifting control mode, and/or compare detected activities and values of the bicycle to the established parameters.

A hub is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The hub comprises a hub axle, a hub body, a sprocket support structure, a detected part and a rotation detection sensor. The hub axle has a center axis. The hub body is rotatably disposed around the center axis. The sprocket support structure is rotatably disposed around the center axis to transmit a driving force to the hub body while rotating in a driving rotational direction around the center axis. The detected part is provided to the sprocket support structure. The rotation detection sensor is configured to detect the detected part to detect rotation of the sprocket support structure around the center axis and being disposed in the hub body.

A slide member is provided with a base material, a plated slide layer and an intermediate plated layer. The plated slide layer contains a solid lubricant. The intermediate plated layer is disposed between the base material and the plated slide layer, the intermediate plated layer increasing cohesion of the base material and the plated slide layer. The plated slide layer has a content of the solid lubricant in a range from 30 to 70 vol %, inclusive.

Chain-rings set, for a power transmission system, which includes a chain, a first chain-ring, a second chain-ring where the first chain-ring is formed by a support part of the teeth and a teeth part, where the second chain-ring is formed by segments each formed by a support part of the teeth and a teeth part, which includes axial displacement means of the segments, where an up-shift segment of the segments has a first tooth which is the first which is engaged with the chain in the rotation movement, and where the displacement means are configured for moving the up-shift segment to an engaging position such that the first tooth can engage with an engaging link of the up-shift section of the chain, when the chain is engaged in the small chain-ring, and without the support part of the up-shift segment reaching the same plane than the support part of the first chain-ring, and to successively displace the other independent segments to an engaging position with the chain without the support parts of the independent segments reaching the same plane than the support part of the first chain-ring.
