Abstract: A bicycle shifting device includes a first shifting mechanism, a transmission mechanism, and a setting mechanism. The setting mechanism sets paths in the transmission mechanism to transmit rotation from an input body to an output body at transmission ratios of at least three steps. The transmission mechanism establishes a first path transmitting the rotation at one of first and second transmission ratios by changing a rotational speed with the first shifting mechanism, and a second path transmitting the rotation at a greater transmission ratio than the first and second transmission ratios by changing the rotational speed with a different shifting mechanism from the first shifting mechanism. The first path includes first and second planetary mechanisms. The setting mechanism sets the transmission mechanism so that the rotational speed is not changed by the first planetary mechanism in the second path.

Abstract: A road surface frictional coefficient estimating apparatus includes a device which determines a first estimated value of a to-be-compared external force acting on a vehicle due to the resultant force of road surface reaction forces using a determined frictional coefficient estimated value and the like, and a device which determines a second estimated value of the to-be-compared external force from the observed value of motional state amounts of the vehicle that define an inertial force corresponding to the to-be-compared external force. The estimated value of a road surface frictional coefficient is updated based on the difference between the first estimated value and the second estimated value. When the first estimated value and the second estimated value have opposite polarities, the updating of the estimated value of the road surface frictional coefficient based on the difference is not carried out.
