Bicycle operating device
A bicycle operating device is basically provided with a base member, a first operating member and an attachment. The base member has an interior space that is configured to receive an operating unit. The first operating member is configured to move along a first operating path from a rest position to an operated position to operate the operating unit when the operating unit is disposed in the interior space. The attachment blocks the first operating path to prevent movement of the first operating member from reaching the operated position.
1. A bicycle operating device comprising:
a base member having an interior space configured to receive an operating unit;
a first operating member configured to move along a first operating path from a rest position to an operated position to operate the operating unit when the operating unit is disposed in the interior space; and
an attachment blocking the first operating path to prevent movement of the first operating member from reaching the operated position in the condition that the attachment is non-movably attached to the base member, the attachment being removably attached to the base member,
wherein the attachment defines a part of an exterior surface of the base member, the exterior surface of the base member facing a direction away from the interior space, the attachment having an abutment portion blocking a first operating path of the operating member to prevent operating movement of the operating member, the abutment portion protruding exteriorly from the exterior surface of the base member.
2. The bicycle operating device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first operating member is pivotally mounted relative to the base member about a first pivot axis to move along the first operating path.
3. The bicycle operating device according to claim 2 , wherein
the first operating member is a lever that is pivotally mounted relative to the base member about a second pivot axis to move along a second operating path, the first pivot axis being transversely arranged with respect to the second pivot axis.
4. The bicycle operating device according to claim 2 , further comprising
a second operating member configured to move along a third operating path from a rest position to an operated position to operate the operating unit when the operating unit is disposed in the interior space, and
the attachment blocking the third operating path to prevent movement of the second operating member from reaching the operated position of the second operating member.
5. The bicycle operating device according to claim 4 , wherein
the first operating member is a lever that is pivotally mounted relative to the base member about a second pivot axis to move along a second operating path, the first pivot axis being transversely arranged with respect to the second pivot axis, and
the second operating member is a lever that is pivotally mounted relative to the base member about a third pivot axis to move along the third operating path.
6. The bicycle operating device according to claim 5 , wherein
the attachment includes a first abutment and a second abutment;
the first abutment blocks pivotal movement of the first operating member from reaching the operated position of the first operating member; and
the second abutment blocks pivotal movement of the second operating member from reaching the operated position of the second operating member.
7. The bicycle operating device according to claim 1 , further comprising
a second operating member configured to move along a third operating path from a rest position to an operated position to operate the operating unit when the operating unit is disposed in the interior space.
8. The bicycle operating device according to claim 7 , wherein
the attachment blocks the third operating path to prevent movement of the second operating member from reaching the operated position of the second operating member.
9. The bicycle operating device according to claim 8 , wherein
the second operating member is pivotally mounted relative to the base member about a third pivot axis to move along the third operating path.
10. The bicycle operating device according to claim 9 , wherein
the second operating member is pivotally mounted on the first operating member.
11. The bicycle operating device according to claim 1 , wherein
the interior space is configured to removably receive the operating unit.
12. The bicycle operating device according to claim 1 , wherein
the operating unit is a shifting unit.
13. The bicycle operating device according to claim 1 , wherein
the attachment is coupled to the base member.
14. The bicycle operating device according to claim 1 , wherein
the base member is configured as a road shifter bracket including a grip portion with a handlebar receiving recess and a pommel portion that is disposed at an opposite end of the grip portion from the handlebar receiving recess.
15. The bicycle operating device according to claim 14 , wherein
the attachment defines a part of a downwardly facing bottom surface of the grip portion.
16. The bicycle operating device according to claim 14 , wherein
the operating unit is detachably disposed in the interior space; and
the attachment retains the operating unit in the interior space.
17. The bicycle operating device according to claim 1 , further comprising
a second operating member is pivotally mounted relative to the base member about a pivot axis to move along a second operating path that is transverse to the first operating path of the first operating member.
18. The bicycle operating device according to claim 17 , wherein
the first operating member is pivotally mounted relative to the base member about another pivot axis to move along the first operating path that is transverse to the second operating path of the first operating member.
19. The bicycle operating device according to claim 17 , wherein
the operating unit is detachably disposed in the interior space; and
the attachment retains the operating unit in the interior space.
