Abstract: An operating device is basically provided with a base member, an operating member and a handlebar fixing structure. The base member includes a support abutment having a contact surface that is arranged to contact an outer surface of a handlebar while the operating device is in an installed state. The contact surface defines an abutment circle about an abutment axis. The operating member is movably coupled to the base member. The handlebar fixing structure is provided on the base member. The handlebar fixing structure has a fixing surface. The fixing surface defines a fixing circle about a fixing axis offset from the abutment axis.
