Claim:
A bicycle brake and shift operating device comprising: a bracket including a grip portion having a first exterior lateral side and a second exterior lateral side; a brake operating member pivotally coupled to the bracket at a brake operating member pivot axis such that the brake operating member moves along a braking plane disposed between the first and second exterior lateral sides; a shift operating unit mounted on the bracket; a release operating member including a user operating portion located on a first side of the braking plane, with the release operating member pivotally coupled to the bracket at a release operating member pivot axis such that the user operating portion moves along an operating path between a rest position and a releasing position with the operating path being disposed solely on the first side of the braking plane, the release operating member pivot axis being fixed with respect to the bracket, with the user operating portion moving in direction closer towards the brake operating member as the user operating portion moves along the operating path to perform a releasing operation in response to movement of the user operating portion from the rest position to the releasing position, the user operating portion extending parallel to the brake operating member in the rest position as viewed from a front side of the brake operating member; and a winding operating member movably mounted relative to the bracket between a rest position and a wire winding position, the winding operating member including a user operating portion that is disposed behind the brake operating member, with the winding operating member moving with the brake operating member as the brake operating member is moved along a brake operating path.
