ABSTRACT:
The aerodynamic bicycle comprises a bar or beam which connects at the rear to the rear wheel hub and at the front to a exoskeletal handlebar and downward extension which attaches to the front wheel. Just forward of the rear wheel, a vertical tube is attached to the bar so that it has limited pivoting capability. At the top of the vertical tube, a second tube inserts slidably within the vertical tube and is supported therein by a shock-absorbing device or material. The bottom of the second tube provides the attachment means for the pedal crank and chain rings. Hand-holds and arm rests are integrated into the exoskeletal handlebar so the exoskeletal handlebar itself is used for steering. To permit a complete tuck for racing, a pair of mirrors is provided so the rider can keep his or her head down and rest his or her helmet on the exoskeletal handlebar but still see forward.
