1. A control device of a bicycle, the control device comprising:
an actuator; and
a first controller configured to:
generate and transmit, from the first controller to a second controller of the bicycle, messages for a predetermined time period at a first transmission rate in response to activation of the actuator; and
after the predetermined time period, generate and transmit, from the first controller to the second controller, one or more messages at a second transmission rate until the actuator is deactivated,
wherein the first transmission rate is greater than the second transmission rate, and each of the messages includes data identifying the activation of the actuator.
