Abstract: An electronic device controls at least one bicycle component in correspondence with operation of an operation device. The electronic device includes a receiver, a memory, a first wireless transmitter, a memory and an electronic controller. The receiver receives operation information corresponding to the operation of the operation device. The memory stores an actuation command of the bicycle component in correspondence with the operation information. The electronic controller receives the operation information and transmits the actuation command corresponding to the received operation information from the first wireless transmitter. The memory is configured to allow the actuation command stored in correspondence with the operation information to be changed.
