ABSTRACT:
An aerodynamic steering device for a bicycle includes a series of flat, non-hollow, planar surfaces, including of a first portion having a forward end portion and a rearward end portion, a second portion extending laterally outward from the rearward end portion of the first portion and including first and second forearm support surfaces, and a third portion extending forwardly and upwardly from the forward end portion of the first portion to provide first and second forwardly tilted hand gripping surfaces. The device further includes a clamping mechanism for clamping the steering device directly to the steering post of a bicycle, or alternatively to an auxiliary set of handlebars. The steering device is comprised of flat structural sheet members which provide a minimum frontal silhouette, which is especially advantageous in bicycle racing.
