Abstract

A bicycle rear derailleur includes a mounting structure (20) with an attachment element (30), a support element (32) and a locking device (36). The attachment element (30) is configured and arranged to be attached to a bicycle. The support element (32) is pivotally coupled to the attachment element (30) to move between a first position and a second position angularly spaced from the first position. The locking device (36) is coupled between the attachment element (30) and the support element (32), and the locking device (36) is configured and arranged to selectively and releasably retain the support element (32) in the second position.
