Abstract
A bicycle sprocket comprises sprocket teeth. The sprocket teeth include a first tooth and a second tooth. The first tooth has a chain-engaging axial width which is larger than a first distance defined between opposed inner link plates of a bicycle chain and which is smaller than a second distance defined between opposed outer link plates of the bicycle chain. The second tooth has a chain-engaging axial width which is larger than the first distance and which is smaller than the second distance. The first tooth and the second tooth are spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the bicycle sprocket to define a space which is free of a tooth configured to engage with the bicycle chain.
