ABSTRACT:
An operating lever assembly is provided for attachment to a bicycle handlebar which itself includes a pair of end grips. The lever assembly comprises a mount bracket fixable to the handlebar, and an operating lever pivotally connected to the mount bracket. The mount bracket is formed with an auxiliary grip which is usable for manual gripping in addition to the handlebar end grips, thereby enabling the rider to selectively assume at least two different riding postures.
