Claim:
1. A bicycle operating device for electrically operating at least one bicycle component, the bicycle operating device comprising: a base member configured to be attached to a bicycle handlebar having a handlebar axis; a first operating member supported on the base member such that the first operating member is configured to rotate about the handlebar axis while the base member is attached to the bicycle handlebar, the first operating member having a first lever part extending in a first direction substantially parallel to the handlebar axis, the first operating member being rotatable from a first rest position to a first operated position and being biased toward the first rest position to return to the first rest position; a second operating member supported on the base member such that the second operating member is configured to rotate about the handlebar axis while the base member is attached to the bicycle handlebar, each of the first and second operating members being configured to rotate about a rotational axis substantially coaxial with the handlebar axis, the second operating member having a second lever part extending in a second direction substantially parallel to the handlebar axis, the second operating member being rotatable from a second rest position to a second operated position and being biased toward the second rest position to return to the second rest position; and an electric control unit generating a first signal and a second signal as the first operating member and the second operating member are operated respectively, the first operating member and the second operating member being operated from the first rest position and the second rest position, respectively, in an operating direction that is the same with respect to the handlebar axis, and the first lever part having a first user operating surface and the second lever part having a second user operating surface, the second user operating surface being circumferentially offset from the first user operating surface around the handlebar axis and at least a portion of each of the first and second user operating surfaces being rotatable in the same plane.
