A shift assembly and integral handbrake apparatus for bicycles is comprised of a handbrake housing on which pivots a handbrake lever. The housing has an interior region formed with a cavity. A slot, defined by an extending flange, is formed on the housing. A shift lever has one end formed as a shift barrel and the other end formed as a finger paddle. The shift barrel is pivotally mounted in the cavity. A portion of the shift lever is placed in the slot causing the finger paddle to extend from the housing. A Bowden cable is coupled to the shift lever. Means places a frictional drag on the shift barrel. Manual pressure on the finger paddle overcomes the drag placed on the shift barrel causing same to pivot. This pivoting results in a relative lengthening or shortening of the Bowden cable. Means locks the frictional drag means at a given predetermined level. The flange provides a comfortable finger stop.
