A bicycle shift control device comprises a base member; an operating member
structured to be mounted around a handlebar so as to rotate in first and
second directions around the handlebar; a transmission control member
coupled to the operating member and rotatably mounted relative to the base
member for pulling and releasing a transmission control element; a first
position setting member; a second position setting member structured to
rotate with the operating member and to move axially, wherein the second
position setting member moves between an engagement position in which the
second position setting member engages the first position setting member
and a disengagement position in which the second position setting member
is disengaged from the first position setting member; a first coupling
member that moves in response to rotation of the operating member; a
second coupling member coupled to the second position setting member for
engaging the first coupling member so that rotation of the operating
member causes rotation of the second position setting member; and wherein
the first coupling member and the second coupling member are structured so
that rotation of the operating member rotates the transmission control
member for a selected rotational distance without moving the second
position setting member toward the disengagement position.
