Abstract
Abstract A display device for a bicycle includes a memory for storing a plurality of tire circumference values and a plurality of tire designation values; display means for displaying information, wherein the display means includes tire designation display means for displaying tire designation information corresponding to the plurality of tire designation values; control means for controlling the information displayed on the display means; and input means for inputting commands to the control means. The display means may include tire circumference display means for displaying tire circumference information corresponding to the plurality of tire circumference values simultaneously with the tire designation information displayed by the tire designation display means. The display may further include correction storing means for storing a plurality of correction values and correction display means for displaying a plurality of correction information corresponding to the plurality of correction values. In this case the control means includes means for selecting one of the plurality of the correction information displayed by the display means so that the correction information may be used to adjust the value of a selected tire circumference.
