A control device wearable by a bicycle rider, the control device including at least one control sensor generating input signals when actuated. A control processor is connected to the at least one control sensor generating control signals responsive to the input signals. A wireless transmitter is in communication with the processor transmitting the control signals and a power source is connected to the shift control processor and the wireless transmitter. The control device may one or more of a control gear changer, one or more suspension component, and other electronically-controllable components or systems.

A control device includes an electronic controller configured to automatically control a transmission device of a human-powered vehicle in accordance with a shifting condition. The electronic controller is configured to set the shifting condition based on first reference information including information related to change in transmission ratio that is shifted by the transmission device.

A bicycle transmission apparatus comprises a base member, a first transmission member, a second transmission member, a first coupling member, a first guide structure, a switching device, and a transmission controller. The switching device is configured to switch a position of the first transmission member relative to the base member in an axial direction between a first axial position and a second axial position. The transmission controller is configured to control the switching device and the first guide structure so as not to change a first engagement state of the first coupling member from one cogwheel to another adjacent cogwheel among first cogwheels when the first transmission member moves relative to the base member in association with a movement of the first guide structure relative to the base member to change a second engagement state of the first coupling member from one cogwheel to another adjacent cogwheel among second cogwheels.

Bicycle single-acted gear-shifting device (12), comprising one front or rear derailleur (10, 20) coupling a ratchet indexing mechanism (13) acted by only one single-acting slave-connector (110, 120) attached to said ratchet indexing mechanism (13), operated by a unidirectional operator mechanism (15) with optional multiple unidirectional handle operator units (30). Said ratchet indexing mechanism (13) removably defines and holds a plurality of predetermined working stable positions of the derailleur's cage-plate (102,202) for each gearshift, and it comprises a ratchet-gear (1) with a pawls' system. And said unidirectional operator mechanism (15) comprises optional multiple unidirectional operator units (30) connected in parallel with the only single-acting slave-connector (110, 120), in order to indistinctly operate it, by means of a branched single-acting drive circuit (115, 123) which can be arranged either using a hydraulic circuit (115, 115′, 115″) acting by pushing, or using flexible cables (123,123′) and housings (124) to act by pulling.

A drive train for muscle-driven single-track or multi-track vehicles with a crank-driven bottom bracket gearbox which is connected on the output side to a chain or belt drive from which a chain or belt leads directly or shiftably to a pinion to a rear wheel hub. belt leads directly or switchably in each case to a pinion to a rear wheel hub, wherein in addition to the bottom bracket gearbox, which is designed as a primary gearbox with n speeds or with variable transmission ratio, a rear-mounted gearbox is also arranged in the drive train as a switchable rear wheel hub gearbox with m=two or m=three speeds, wherein n and m are natural numbers. In addition to the bottom bracket gearbox, which is designed as a primary gearbox with n speeds, the drive train also includes a rear-mounted gearbox as a shiftable rear wheel hub gearbox with m=two or m=three speeds.

A bicycle operating device is basically provided with a base member, a positioning ratchet, a first positioning pawl and a second positioning pawl. The positioning ratchet pivots with respect to the base member about a pivot axis. The positioning ratchet pivots in first and second directions. The first and second positioning pawls are pivotally mounted about a pawl pivot axis between holding positions and releasing positions. The first and second positioning pawls include contact points that selectively contact the positioning ratchet to prevent pivoting of the positioning ratchet in the first direction while the holding position. The contact points of the first and second positioning pawls are perpendicularly spaced from the pawl pivot axis by first and second linear lengths, respectively, that are different. The pivot axis and the pawl pivot axis defines a plane. The first and second contact points are located on a same side of the plane.

A bicycle transmission apparatus comprises a base member, a first transmission member, a second transmission member, a first coupling member, a first guide structure, a switching device, and a transmission controller. The switching device is configured to switch a position of the first transmission member relative to the base member in an axial direction between a first axial position and a second axial position. The transmission controller is configured to control the switching device and the first guide structure so as not to change a first engagement state of the first coupling member from one cogwheel to another adjacent cogwheel among first cogwheels when the first transmission member moves relative to the base member in association with a movement of the first guide structure relative to the base member to change a second engagement state of the first coupling member from one cogwheel to another adjacent cogwheel among second cogwheels.
