A speed change operation device for a vehicle with continuously variable transmission having a running apparatus, a power source and a continuously variable transmission for transmitting power from the power source to the running apparatus. The speed change operation device comprises a first movable member operated by a speed change operation member to rotate; a second movable member connected to a speed change operation quantity input section of the continuously variable transmission directly or indirectly through a transmission means to change speed of the continuous variable transmission; a first rotation support shaft pivotally supporting the first movable member; and a second rotation support shaft disposed in parallel with the first rotation shaft for pivotally supporting the second movable member. And the first and second movable members are connected with each other so that rotating force is transmitted from the first movable member to the second movable member and alternatively the second movable member can rotate independently.
