ABSTRACT:
Handlebars for a bicycle include a central crosspiece connectable to a bicycle steering post and sidewardly extending portions which may include a pair of pads for supporting a rider's forearms. A generally vertical handgrip portion is located by an intermediate section to a forward central region to permit the rider's hands to overlap each other while grasping the vertical handgrip portion and define a rider position in which the rider's elbows are located near the central rear portion and the rider's arms extend forwardly when the rider's hands are grasping the vertical handgrip portion. In certain embodiments, the vertical handgrip may be T shaped with additional horizontal sections. In other embodiments, an adapter allows the generally vertical handgrip and intermediate section to be clamped to an original bicycle handlebar.
