Shift control device for a bicycle transmission

A shift control device comprising:

• a mounting unit;
• a transmission control element movably mounted to the mounting unit, wherein the transmission control element includes a first transmission control driven member that moves between a first transmission control position and a second transmission control position;
• a first transmission control element biasing mechanism for biasing the transmission control element toward the first transmission control position;
• a first shift control element including a first shift control drive member that moves between a first shift control position and a second shift control position;
• wherein the first shift control drive member engages the first transmission control driven member to move the transmission control element toward the second transmission control position when the first shift control element moves toward the second shift control position;
• and
• wherein the first shift control drive member disengages from the transmission control driven member as the first shift control element moves toward the second shift control position so that the transmission control element moves back toward the first transmission control position.

An indicator apparatus for a shift control device comprising:

• a mounting unit;
• a transmission control element movably mounted relative to the mounting unit, wherein the transmission control element moves between a first transmission control position and a second transmission control position;
• an indicator that moves between a first indicator position and a second indicator position;
• and
• an indicator coupling unit that moves the indicator from the first indicator position to the second indicator position when the transmission control element moves toward the second transmission control position without moving the indicator back to the first indicator position when the transmission control element moves back toward the first transmission control position.
