1. A bicycle wireless control system comprising:
a first bicycle electric component including at least one operating member, a first controller, and a first wireless communication unit that wirelessly transmits a control signal in response to an operation of the at least one operating member; and a second bicycle electric component including a second wireless communication unit and a second controller,
the second wireless communication unit being configured to wirelessly receive the control signal from the first wireless communication unit and to wirelessly transmit an acknowledgement signal to the first wireless communication unit upon receiving the control signal from the first wireless communication unit, and the second wireless communication unit being configured to wirelessly transmit an additional acknowledgement signal upon a determination that the first wireless communication unit continues to wirelessly transmit the control signal after the second wireless communication unit transmits the acknowledgement signal, andthe second controller being programmed to periodically operate the second wireless communication unit for a predetermined listening period, to control the second wireless communication unit to transmit the additional acknowledgement signal during the predetermined listening period in which the first wireless communication unit continues to wirelessly transmit the control signal, and to periodically suspend the second wireless communication unit for a predetermined non-listening period after the predetermined listening period passes.
