Bicycle operating device and bicycle seatpost apparatus

A bicycle operating device comprising:

• a base member;
• a brake operating member pivotally coupled to the base member about a brake pivot axis to operate a brake device;
• and
• a first operating member pivotally coupled to the base member about a first pivot axis which is non-parallel to the brake pivot axis, the first operating member being movable between a first rest position and an operated position to operate an additional bicycle component via a first mechanical control cable, the first operating member being rotatable from the first rest position to the operated position without another operated position defined between the first rest position and the operated position by a cable displacement amount that is larger than 12 mm.

A bicycle seatpost apparatus comprising:

• an adjustable seatpost assembly having an adjustable total length;
• and
• a bicycle operating device to operate the adjustable seatpost assembly, the bicycle operating device including a base member comprising:
• a first end portion configured to be directly mounted to a handlebar at a location of the handlebar that is spaced away from a terminal end of the handlebar in a mounting state where the bicycle operating device is mounted to the handlebar;
• a second end portion opposite to the first end portion;
• and
• a grip portion provided between the first end portion and the second end portion, wherein the bicycle operating device comprises:
• a brake operating member pivotally coupled to the base member about a brake pivot axis to operate a brake device;
• and
• a first operating member pivotally coupled to the base member about a first pivot axis, the first operating member is a seatpost operating member movably coupled to the base member to operate the adjustable seatpost assembly via a first mechanical control cable extending from the bicycle operating device to the seatpost operating member.
