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.
