WIRELESS BICYCLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A wireless bicycle communication device comprising:
- a bracket having a bicycle frame attachment portion, a radio unit receiving portion located at an upper portion of the bracket spaced apart from the bicycle frame attachment portion and an antenna receiving portion disposed at an inboard side of the bracket between the bicycle frame attachment portion and the radio unit receiving portion;
an electronic switch coupled to the bracket configured to generate switching signals;
an antenna supported to the antenna receiving portion;
a wiring assembly including a first connector disposed within the radio unit receiving portion of the bracket, the wiring assembly electrically connecting the antenna and the first connector;
a radio communication unit disposed within the radio unit receiving portion having a second connector configured to detachably mate with the first connector, the radio communication unit being configured to process switching signals from the electronic switch and broadcast corresponding radio signals via the antenna.
