1. A method for controlling an actuating device for a bicycle wherein the actuating device includes a static element which is arranged positionally fixedly in relation to a bicycle frame, a movable element which is movable in relation to the static element, an electromechanical drive which provides a drive force for a movement of the movable element, and a fault detection device which detects a fault relating to the movement of the movable element, comprising:
generating a first drive control signal, in order to drive the electromechanical drive with a first level of drive power, if the fault detection device detects no fault, and
generating a second drive control signal, in order to drive the electromechanical drive with a second level of drive power, if the fault detection device detects a fault,
wherein the second level of drive power is lower than the first level of drive power but is greater than zero.
