Abstract:
A bicycle operating device includes a base member, a positioning ratchet, a holding member and a restricting member. The holding member moves between a holding position and a releasing position to selectively establish a plurality of gear positions. The holding member prevents movement of the positioning ratchet while the holding member is in the holding position, and releases the positioning ratchet for movement while the holding member is in the releasing position. The restricting member moves between a non-restricting position and at least one restricting position in which the restricting member restricts movement of the positioning ratchet. The positioning ratchet moves in a first set of the gear positions while the restricting member is in the non-restricting position. The positioning ratchet moves in a second set of the gear positions while the restricting member is in the at least one restricting position.

Claim (Index 1):
A bicycle operating device comprising:\n a base member; a positioning ratchet movably mounted with respect to the base member, the positioning ratchet being configured to move in a first direction and a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, the first direction corresponding to an inner wire pulling direction and the second direction corresponding to an inner wire releasing direction, the positioning ratchet having a fully pulled position in which the positioning ratchet has moved fully in the first direction to a position corresponding to an end gear; a holding member movably mounted with respect to the base member between a holding position and a releasing position to selectively establish a plurality of gear positions of the positioning ratchet, the holding member preventing movement of the positioning ratchet in the second direction while the holding member is in the holding position, the holding member releasing the positioning ratchet for movement in the second direction while the holding member is in the releasing position, the holding member holding the positioning ratchet in one of the gear positions while the holding member is in the holding position; and a restricting member movably mounted with respect to the base member between a non-restricting position and at least one restricting position, the restricting member being configured to contact a part fixed to the positioning ratchet so that the restricting member prevents movement of the positioning ratchet in the first direction to the fully pulled position while the restricting member is in the at least one restricting position, the positioning ratchet being arranged to move in a first set of the gear positions while the restricting member is positioned in the non-restricting position, and to move in a second set of the gear positions while the restricting member is positioned in the at least one restricting position.
