Abstract: A bicycle operating device includes a base member, a positioning ratchet, a positioning member, a release member and a release pawl. The positioning ratchet pivots about a pivot axis in first and second directions. The positioning member moves between a holding position that prevents pivoting of the positioning ratchet in the first direction, and a releasing position that releases the positioning ratchet to pivot in the first direction. The release member moves the positioning member from the holding position to the releasing position as the release member moves with respect to the base member. The release pawl is movably mounted with respect to the base member to move the release member. The release pawl includes first and second pawl parts that selectively contact the release member as the release pawl moves with respect to the base member. The first and second pawl parts are different from each other.
