A bicycle control apparatus comprises a first position setting member
having a plurality of first positioning members with a first pitch, an
operating member that rotates relative to the position setting member,
and a second position setting member structured to rotate with the
operating member and to move axially. The second position setting member
has a plurality of second positioning members with a second pitch,
wherein the first pitch is different from the second pitch. The first
pitch and the second pitch are set so that an engagement pitch between a
first engagement position of the second position setting member and a
second engagement position of the second position setting member that
results from rotation of the operating member is less than both the first
pitch and the second pitch.
