A human-powered vehicle control device includes an electronic controller that is configured to control an electric component of the human-powered vehicle in at least one control state selected from multiple control states that at least partially differ from each other. A number of the at least one control state is changeable. A human-powered vehicle control system includes the human-powered vehicle control device. Also, a method is carried out to set a control state of the human-powered vehicle control device.

Control device for human-powered vehicle, control system for human-powered vehicle, and method for setting control state of control device

A human-powered vehicle operating device including a base member, a first operating member, a second operating member, a first electrical switch and a second electrical switch. The first operating member includes a first operating surface and configured to pivot about a first axis with respect to the base member. The second operating member includes a second operating surface and configured to pivot about a second axis with respect to the base member. The first electrical switch is provided between the base member and the first operating member. The second electrical switch is provided between the base member and the second operating member. The first operating member and the second operating member are arranged next to each other in a first direction and configured to pivot independent from each other.

Human-powered vehicle control device

A bicycle driving assembly is basically provided with a first sprocket cluster, a second sprocket cluster and a first actuator. The first sprocket cluster includes at least one first sprocket configured to be rotatable about a rotational axis. The second sprocket cluster includes at least one second sprocket configured to be rotatable about the rotational axis. The first actuator is configured to move the first sprocket cluster and the second sprocket cluster relative to one another in an axial direction of the rotational axis.

Bicycle driving assembly

A bicycle electrical component is basically provided with a cover, a battery and a wireless communication unit. The cover is configured to cover an opening formed on a bicycle. The cover has a center plane bisecting the cover in a thickness direction of the cover, a first side and a second side opposite to the first side with respect to the center plane. The battery configured to be attached to the cover and to be entirely disposed on one of the first side and the second side. The wireless communication unit is configured to be attached to the cover and to be entirely disposed on the other of the first side and the second side.

Bicycle electrical component

A bicycle pedal is provided with a pedal body having a front cleat retainer and a rear cleat retainer. The rear cleat retainer is pivotally coupled to the pedal body about a rear pivot axis. The front cleat retainer has a forward cleat stopping point facing towards the rear end of the pedal body. The rear cleat retainer has a rear cleat step-in point facing away from the pedal body. The forward and rear cleat stopping points and the rear pivot axis define a triangle with a first side interconnecting the forward and rear cleat stopping points, a second side interconnecting the rear cleat step-in point and the rear pivot axis, and a third side interconnecting the forward cleat stopping point and the rear pivot axis, with an interior angle of ninety degrees or less between the first and second sides of the triangle.

Bicycle pedal

A bicycle control apparatus is basically provided with a first gear changing device, a second gear changing device, a power supply sensor and a gear shift controller. The first gear changing device has a plurality of first shifting positions. The second gear changing device has a plurality of second shifting positions. The power supply sensor detects a power level of a power supply that is configured to supply power to at least one of the first and second gear changing device. The gear shift controller is programmed to cooperatively control the first and second gear changing devices, the gear shift controller being further programmed to individually control the first and second gear changing devices when the power level detected by the power supply sensor is lower than a first power level.
