1. A method for controlling electronic shifting of a bicycle, the method comprising:
identifying, by a processor, an average torque over a period of time;
comparing, by the processor, the average torque to a threshold torque level;
enabling, by the processor, automatic shifting of the bicycle based on the comparison and the average torque exceeding the threshold torque level; and
initiating, by the processor, electronic shifting of the bicycle, the initiating of the electronic shifting of the bicycle comprising actuating an assist motor of the bicycle for electronic shifting of the bicycle.
