Abstract:
1. A bicycle shift control device for a transmission actuating member, wherein the transmission actuating member moves to a plurality of transmission actuating positions for moving a bicycle transmission to a plurality of transmission positions, wherein the shift control device comprises: an operator attachment element that moves to a first operator attachment position, to a second operator attachment position, and to a third operator attachment position for causing an operation of the transmission actuating member, wherein the second operator attachment position is disposed on a first path of movement from the first operator attachment position, wherein the third operator attachment position is disposed on a second path of movement from the first operator attachment position, and wherein the first path of movement is different from the second path of movement; an operating mechanism that causes the operator attachment element to move from the first operator attachment position toward the second operator attachment position and from the first operator attachment position toward the third operator attachment position; and a default operator attachment element positioning mechanism that sets the operator attachment element to the first operator attachment position by the time the operating mechanism returns to an idle state after the operator attachment element moves from the first operator attachment position toward the second operator attachment position or from the first operator attachment position toward the third operator attachment position.
