Abstract
A bicycle control device wherein a base member is provided for attachment to a structural member of the bicycle, and a control member is mounted for movement relative to the base member. A relay cable has a first end secured relative to the base member and a second end secured relative to the control member so that movement of the control member relative to the base member causes the first end of the cable to move relative to the second end of the cable. A linking member is disposed between the first end of the cable and the second end of the cable for movement with the cable. The linking member has an attachment location for attaching a control element of the bicycle to the linking member. The device may then operate according to the principle of a ruunning block.
