Abstract: A bicycle seatpost assembly comprises an electric actuator and a seatpost controller. The electric actuator is to change a state of the bicycle seatpost assembly between a lock state where a total length of the bicycle seatpost assembly is invariable, and an adjustable state where the total length of the bicycle seatpost assembly is variable. The seatpost controller is configured to control the electric actuator to maintain the adjustable state during an adjustment period selectable from a plurality of predetermined adjustment periods.

Abstract: A bicycle seatpost system comprises an electric actuator, a remote controller, and a seatpost controller. The electric actuator is to change a state of a bicycle seatpost assembly between a lock state where a total length of the bicycle seatpost assembly is invariable, and an adjustable state where the total length of the bicycle seatpost assembly is variable. The remote controller is configured to transmit a first control signal and a second control signal different from the first control signal. The seatpost controller is configured to control the electric actuator to change the state of the bicycle seatpost assembly to the adjustable state based on one of the first control signal and the second control signal.

Abstract: A bicycle operating device includes a base member, first and second cable control bodies, first and second positioning mechanisms, an operating member and an input mechanism. The first positioning mechanism selectively maintains the first cable control body in a first predetermined position. The second positioning mechanism selectively maintains the second cable control body in a second predetermined position. The input mechanism moves the first and second cable control bodies between the first and second predetermined positions in accordance with a predetermined operation sequence having a changing point to change operation from the first cable control body to the second cable control body. The input mechanism moves the first cable control body by at least two of the first predetermined positions in a single continuous operation of the operating member. The input mechanism includes a restricting structure that prohibits movement of the first cable control body at the changing point.

Abstract: A bicycle crank assembly having a rotational center axis is basically provided with a crank member and a sprocket member. The crank member includes a support portion that extends in the axial direction and an arm portion that is integrally rotatable around the rotational center axis with the support portion. The sprocket member includes a sliding portion that extends in the axial direction that is integrally rotatable with respect to the support portion and that is displaceable in the axial direction. The bicycle crank assembly is constructed to achieve high strength and to suppress the decrease in the efficiency of the rotation transmission from the crank member to the sprocket member in a crank assembly in which the sprocket member is movable in the axial direction.

Abstract: A bicycle gear changing apparatus is basically provided with an upshifting input, a downshifting input and a controller. The controller is operatively coupled to the upshifting input and the downshifting input to receive upshift signals and downshift signals. The controller outputs control signals to control a first gear changing device and a second gear changing device in accordance with a synchro-downshift route and a synchro-upshift route that is different from the synchro-downshift route, in response to receiving the upshift signals and the downshift signals.

Abstract: A saddle sensor assembly is provided to a saddle or seatpost. The saddle sensor assembly includes a first part, a second part, a third part and a sensor. The first part is configured to receive a load from a rider, and moves due to the load applied by the rider. The second part is provided closer to a seatpost than the first part. The first part is movable relative to the second part between a first position and a second position. The third part supports the first part and the second part. The third part is attached to at least one of the saddle and the seatpost. The sensor is provided to one of the first part and the second part. The sensor is configured to detect relative movement of at least one of the first part and the second part between the first position and the second position.
