Abstract
A switch for actuating at least one gear mechanism on a bicycle includes a housing and a movement element movably arranged relative to the housing and including a transmission means for controlling the gear mechanism in a tensioning direction and in a release direction. A first pawl interacts with a first latching toothing arrangement in the housing. The individual gear stages in the switch are produced with a form fit via one or more controllable pawls. The switch is designed as a trigger switch for shifting through a plurality of gear stages in the tensioning direction and in the release direction by a single switching movement.
