Abstract: An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base, a piston, an operating member, an intermediate member, and a mounting structure. The base includes a hole. The piston is movably provided in the hole. The operating member is pivotally coupled to the base about a first pivot axis. The intermediate member is pivotally coupled to the base about a second pivot axis to transmit a pivotal movement of the operating member to the piston. The mounting structure is configured to couple the base and a handlebar of the human-powered vehicle. The mounting structure defines a mounting axis extending along the handlebar in a mounting state where the mounting structure couples the base and the handlebar. The first pivot axis is closer to the mounting axis than the second pivot axis in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the mounting axis as viewed along the first pivot axis.

Abstract: A hydraulic reservoir of a human-powered vehicle comprises a reservoir structure and a bleeding plug. The reservoir structure includes a reservoir chamber, a bleeding port, and a connecting port. The bleeding port is configured to be in communication with the reservoir chamber. The bleeding port has a bleeding-port inner diameter. The connecting port is configured to connect the reservoir chamber and a hydraulic chamber. The hydraulic chamber is at least partially defined by a piston. The reservoir structure includes an intermediate port through which a fluid is to flow from the connecting port to the bleeding port when bleeding the hydraulic reservoir. The intermediate port has an intermediate-port inner diameter smaller than the bleeding-port inner diameter. The bleeding plug is configured to be attached to the bleeding port.
