ABSTRACT:
A position release mechanism for a bicycle control device comprises a positioning unit that is adapted to be biased in a first direction; a position maintaining mechanism that maintains the positioning unit in a plurality of predetermined positions; and a position releasing mechanism that moves in a position releasing direction, wherein the position releasing mechanism is operatively coupled to the position maintaining mechanism so that the positioning unit moves through at least two of the plurality of predetermined positions in the first direction in response to a progressive movement of the position releasing mechanism in the position releasing direction.
