Abstract: A bicycle hydraulic operating device basically has a base member, an operating member, a piston and a connecting rod. The base member includes a cylinder bore and a reservoir tank. The operating member is pivotally mounted to the base member to pivot about a pivot axis. The piston is movably disposed in the cylinder bore of the base member along a cylinder axis of the cylinder bore. The connecting rod operatively couples the operating member to the piston. The reservoir tank is arranged to overlap the connecting rod as viewed in a direction parallel to the pivot axis of the operating member. The reservoir tank is arranged to at least partly offset from the cylinder bore in a direction parallel to the cylinder axis.
