An adaptable bicycle shifter making use of a torque computation algorithm based on the classical law of conservation of energy and employing a global positioning system (GPS) altimeter for sensing a road inclination, an accelerometer for sensing a bicycle acceleration and a hot wire anemometer for sensing a wind load, serving to automatically attenuate or appreciate programmed shifting speeds in real time to maintain rider standard shifting torques thereof. Adaptable bicycle shifter is additionally provided with capability to sense, record, and interpret rider automatic shift override commands and further adjust automatic shift criteria to rider ongoing preference.

A control device includes an electronic controller configured to control a transmission device of a human-powered vehicle in accordance with a shifting condition. The electronic controller is configured to monitor a torque applied to the human-powered vehicle upon determining the human-powered vehicle is ridden and driven. The electronic controller is configured to permit a shifting operation of the transmission device in accordance with a peak value of the torque upon determining the shifting condition is satisfied.

A control device is provided for a human-powered vehicle. The control device is basically provided with a controller. The controller is configured to be connected to at least one component of the human-powered vehicle such that the controller is free from executing normal activation of the at least one component in accordance to a first input in a first mode. The controller is configured to operate at least one of an actuator and an indicator in accordance to the first input in a second mode. The first mode is switched into the second mode in accordance to a second input different from the first input.

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.
