This invention relates to a gear-selection-device (1) for a shift-changing gear, especially for a bicycle-mover, with a control-device (5), which acts through a force-transmission-element on the shift-changing gear, an operation-device with a rotatably movable operation-element to manually operate the control-device (5), and a display-device (3) with an indicator-element (4), which can move along a circular arc, to show the gear-changed state selected by the operation-device. The angle-movements are transferred from the operation-device or the control-device (5) through the gear-transmission-device to the display-device (3), so that the circular arc passed through by the indicator-element (4) of the display-device (3) is smaller than the circular arc passed through at the same time by the operation-element of the operation-device. This results in an improved readability of the display-device (3) and also an improved ergonomics of the gear-selection-device (1).
