Abstract:
1. A bicycle operating device comprising: a base member configured to be attached to a bicycle; a brake operating lever pivotally coupled to the base member about a pivot axis to perform a braking operation as the brake operating lever is moved in a first direction by a user along a brake operating plane that is perpendicular to the pivot axis of the brake operating lever; and a shift operating lever movably arranged relative to the base member to move from a rest position in a second direction to perform a gear shift operation in response to operation of the shift operating lever by the user, the shift operating lever having a handlebar engagement portion that is moved by contact with a handlebar of the bicycle relative to the brake operating lever in a third direction toward the brake operating lever to move closer to the brake operating lever when the brake operating lever is pivoted in the first direction by the user to perform the braking operation while the base member is mounted to the handlebar, the third direction being a non-shifting direction that is different from the first and second directions, the shift operating lever not performing the gear shifting operation when moved in the third direction by the handlebar of the bicycle.
