A derailleur for a bicycle is provided with a base member, a movable member movable axially of a multistage sprocket assembly, a linkage member for moving the movable member axially of the multistage sprocket assembly, a guide mechanism supported to the movable member and guiding a driving chain from one sprocket to another at the multistage sprocket assembly, and a coiled return spring. At an intermediate portion of the linkage member there is a provided a support shaft for the spring, with the support shaft supporting the coiled portion of the spring. A first end portion of the spring is retained to the linkage member carrying the support shaft, and a second end portion of the spring is movably engaged with a member movable relative to the linkage member, thereby reducing the amount of deflection of the spring for a given amount of movement of the movable member.
