Various electrically controlled devices of a bicycle are electrically coupled together by multi-conductor electrical cords. Preferably, the ends of the electrical cords have an electrical connector that mates with a corresponding electrical connector of an electrically controlled device. The electrical connectors are designed to be coupled together by a snap fit. Each electrical connector attached to the end of the electrical cord has an electrical contact housing with electrical contacts and an outer casing molded about the electrical contact housing to form a tubular portion radially spaced from the outer end of the electrical contact housing. A retaining ring is located in an annular groove formed in an exterior surface of the outer casing to provide an additional coupling force. Preferably, an annular sealing member formed of a resilient and compressible material is located in an annular space formed between the tubular portion and the electrical contact housing.
