A bicycle shift control device comprises a control body supported by a mounting member and rotatable about a rotational axis (X), wherein the mounting member defines a handlebar mounting axis (HB); an operating body coupled for displacement between a home position and a shift position; a transmission which converts the displacement of the operating body into a rotational displacement of the control body; and an interface member movably mounted relative to the operating body. The interface member pivots around a pivot axis (P) for moving the operating body from the home position to the shift position, wherein the pivot axis (P) is inclined relative to a handlebar mounting axis (HB). The interface member also moves in a direction toward a plane (PL) that contains the handlebar mounting axis (HB) and is parallel with the rotational axis (X) when the operating body moves from the home position toward the shift position.
