Abstract
A bicycle control apparatus is basically provided with a manual drive force detecting device, a rotation state detection device and a controller. The manual drive force detecting device detects a manual drive force. The rotation state detection device detects a parameter relating to crankshaft rotation of a crankshaft. The controller is programmed to control at least one of a driving unit that generates an auxiliary drive force and an electric transmission unit so that the manual drive force and the parameter relating to the crankshaft rotation will be within a prescribed range.
