Bicycle operating device

A bicycle operating device comprising:

• a support structure;
• a release member pivotally supported on the support structure to pivot about a pivot axis between a first non-releasing position and a first releasing position;
• a first operating member movably supported on the support structure between a rest position and an operated position;
• a positioning member rotatably mounted relative to the support structure in a first direction and a second direction, the second direction being opposite the first direction;
• and
• a release pawl movably mounted on the first operating member,
• the release member including a first abutment and a second abutment, the second abutment being circumferentially spaced from the first abutment with respect to the pivot axis,
• the release pawl being selectively arranged to engage one of the first and second abutments and pivot the release member during movement of the first operating member from the rest position towards the operated position without engaging the other of the first and second abutments,
• the positioning member being arranged to rotate in the first direction responsive to a pivotal movement of the release member in the second direction,
• the first operating member being arranged to move toward the rest position and then toward the operated position to engage the release pawl with the other of the first and second abutments.
