ABSTRACT:
A handlebar with integral bar ends provides an elongate tubular member having opposing segments proximate a central region thereof. The segments each have an outer diameter sufficient for affixing a conventional control base thereto. Disposed outwardly of each of the segments is a respective relatively transverse end segment. In particular, the end segment may be angled at 70.degree. relative to a longitudinal axis of each of the segments. The outer diameter of the end segment is sized so that, in conjunction with a predetermined radius of curvature for a bend between each end segment and segment, the control base may be moved between the end segment and the segment without interference. The outer diameter of each end segment may be 20 millimeters while the radius of curvature of the bend may be 55 millimeters.
