<p>A brake lever device performing not only speed change operation while the steering wheel is stably operated but also quick braking operation. A speed change operation lever (10) provided rearwardly of a brake lever (6) is supported rotatable around an axis intersecting the axis of a steering wheel (2) while being elastically biassed by means of a spring (35) so as to be located at a neutral position serving as a rotation starting point for rotations in a cable taking-up direction and a cable pay-out direction, while a speed change operation mechanism (28) for pulling or feeding a speed change operation cable comprises a cable taking-up body (27) supported rotatable around a shaft body (7), a transmission mechanism (33) for rotating the cable taking-up body integrally with the speed change operation lever when the speed change operation lever is rotated from the neutral position in the cable taking-up direction or in the cable pay-out direction and releasing the interlocking between the speed change operation lever and the cable taking-up body when the speed change operation lever is rotated to be restored to the neutral position, and a locking mechanism (67) for holding the cable taking-up body in a predetermined rotating position.</p> |
