The invention relates to a method (100) for operating a pedal-driven vehicle (200), comprising a gearshift (201), a
control unit (202) and a detection unit (203), wherein the gearshift (201) is configured to automatically trigger shifting operations depending on at least one driving parameter and wherein the gearshift (201) further comprises at least one
user interface (204) for manually triggering shifting operations, the method (100) comprising: - Detecting (110) a manual triggering of a switching operation, in particular by the
control unit (202), - Recording (120) at least one driving parameter, in particular by the recording unit (203), - Classifying (130) the manually triggered shifting operation as a predictive or non-predictive shifting operation depending on at least one driving parameter, in particular by the
control unit (202), and - Adjusting (140) at least one operating parameter of the gearshift (201) if the manually triggered shifting operation has been classified as a non-predictive shifting operation.
