Abstract
A bicycle operating device has a base member, a holding member, a stopping member and a positioning member. The holding member is movable between a rest position and an operated position. The stopping member is movable in a first direction. The stopping member engages the holding member to prevent movement of the stopping member in the first direction while the holding member is in the operated position. The positioning member is movable relative to the base member in the first direction. The positioning member engages the holding member to prevent movement of the positioning member in the first direction while the holding member is in the rest position. The positioning member moves relative to the stopping member in the first direction while the holding member is in the operated position.
