1. A coordinator device for a bicycle, the coordinator device comprising:
a communication interface configured to:
communicate wirelessly with a controller device of the bicycle via a first wireless network, the controller device being configured to generate a signal in response to user input at an input element of the controller device; and
communicate wirelessly with a mobile device via a second wireless network, the mobile device being configured to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) including a representation of the controller device including the input element;
a processor in communication with the communication interface, the processor being configured to receive, via the communication interface and the first wireless network, the signal generated in response to the user input at the input element from the controller device, the signal including data identifying a device type and data identifying the input element; and
a memory in communication with the processor and the communication interface, the memory being configured to store the data identifying the device type and the data identifying the input element,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
generate a notification based on the received signal;
transmit, via the communication interface and the second wireless network, the generated notification to the mobile device;
in response to the transmission of the generated notification, receive, via the communication interface and the second wireless network, a request from the mobile device, the request being for data related to the received signal; and
in response to the request, transmit, via the communication interface and the second wireless network, the stored data identifying the device type and the stored data identifying the input element to the mobile device, such that an association of the controller device with the representation of the controller device is identifiable within the GUI at the mobile device.
