ABSTRACT:
Novel handlebars for a bicycle are disclosed. The handlebars include a crosspiece connected to a bicycle steering post, and first handles are connected to the crosspiece. Novel second handles extend forwardly from the crosspiece; these second handles are located so that, when they are grasped by a rider, the rider's forearms are located to be supported by the handlebars at positions over the crosspiece. The second handles are located relatively close together to encourage the rider to adopt a riding position in which the frontal area of the rider's silhouette is minimized, and in which the rider's elbows are located ahead of the rider's lungs.
