Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for attachment of bicycle parts includes: a first attachment part attached to component parts of a bicycle and having a flat projected piece; a second attachment part having a fitting portion slidable with respect to the projected piece and provided for attaching the first attachment part by using the fitting portion and for fixing bicycle parts thereon; and a cord connected through the fitting portion of the second attachment part to the bicycle parts. When the projected piece and the fitting portion are engaged with each other, a portion of the cord is pressed by a tip end of the projected piece, thereby increasing the strength in the cord fitting.
