Claim:
1. A bicycle shift operating device comprising: a base member; a shift wire take-up element rotatably mounted with respect to the base member in first and second rotational directions about a stationary pivot axis that is stationary with respect to the base member, with the shift wire take-up element having a center of rotation that is coincident with the stationary pivot axis as the shift wire take-up element rotates relative to the base member; and a shifting unit operably coupled to the shift wire take-up element, the shifting unit including a shift operating member pivotally mounted with respect to the base member along a pivotal movement path, the shift operating member operably engaging and moving the shift wire take-up element in the first rotational direction as the shift operating member pivots about an operating axis partially defined by a shift unit axle, the shift operating member being slidably mounted with respect to the base member along a non-pivotal movement path, the shift operating member operably engaging and moving the shift wire take-up element in the second rotational direction as the shift operating member moves with respect to the operating axis along the non-pivotal movement path, and the shift operating member sliding on the shift unit axle as the shift operating member moves along the non-pivotal movement path.
