Abstract
A method for controlling shifting of a bicycle includes identifying a first gear shift command for a first shift having a first shift direction and identifying a second gear shift command for a second shift having a second shift direction. The method includes determining a time period between the identifying of the first gear shift command and the identifying of the second gear shift command, and comparing, by the processor, the determined time period to a predetermined time period. When, based on the comparing, the determined time period is less than the predetermined time period, the method further includes initiating a shift in a second shift direction when the second shift direction and the first shift direction are a same shift direction, and blocking, by the processor, the shift in the second shift direction when the second shift direction and the first shift direction are different shift directions.
