ABSTRACT:
A handlebar assembly for a bicycle provides hand grips on tubular segments that have their upper ends turned inward and back so that the cyclist's wrists assume a normal and unstressed position. The assembly is adapted to suit a cyclist's preference by the use of variable length segments. In order to provide a wide selection of hand grip positions, segments are connected with joints that have an outer diameter approximately equal to that of the tubing.
