A bicycle derailleur apparatus comprises a base member for coupling to a bicycle frame, a movable member coupled for movement relative to the base member, a chain guide coupled to the movable member for moving a chain from an origin sprocket to a destination sprocket in response to movement of the movable member, a biasing device that provides a biasing force to the chain guide for tensioning the chain, and a movement resisting device with a control element for the application of a signal that causes the movement resisting device to selectively apply and remove resistance to movement of the chain guide. The movement resisting device is operable to remove resistance to movement of the chain guide when the chain guide moves the chain from the origin sprocket to the destination sprocket.

Motion resisting apparatus for a bicycle derailleur

A bicycle derailleur apparatus comprises a derailleur including a mounting member adapted to be mounted to a bicycle frame and a chain guide coupled to the mounting member so that the chain guide moves relative to the mounting member. A power storing unit is supported by the derailleur.

A bicycle derailleur apparatus comprises a base member for coupling to a bicycle frame, a movable member coupled for movement relative to the base member, a chain guide coupled to the movable member for guiding a chain among a plurality of sprockets in response to movement of the movable member, and a biasing device that provides a biasing force to the chain guide for tensioning the chain. A movement resisting device has a control element for the application of a signal that causes the movement resisting device to change resistance to movement of the chain guide.

A bicycle light attachment assembly includes a bracket, a lamp and a clamping member. The lamp is coupled to the bracket and the clamping member is pivotally coupled to the bracket. The clamping member and the bracket are arranged to clamp onto a brake mechanism supporting member on a bicycle frame.

An apparatus for mounting an electrical component to a bicycle comprises a mounting bracket, an electrical component case member and a stopper member. The electrical component case member is structured to be mounted in close proximity to the mounting bracket such that the electrical component case member is removed by moving the electrical component case member in a first direction. The electrical component case member has a surface facing in the first direction, and the stopper member is coupled to the mounting bracket and structured to engage the surface of the electrical component case member to inhibit movement of the electrical component case member in the first direction.
