ABSTRACT:
A handlebar assembly for a cycle includes a column member which is securable to a cycle so that it is rotatable about the steering column axis thereof, a pivot arm which is pivotably mounted on the column member so that it extends forwardly therefrom, a spring assembly for resiliently resisting pivoting movement of the pivot arm and a handlebar element of the forward end of the pivot arm. The handlebar element is adapted and mounted so that the hands of an operator of the cycle are positioned forward of the steering column axis, and the spring assembly is operative for resiliently resisting pivoting movement of the pivot arm to cushion shocks which are transmitted to the column member when bumps are encountered in an irregular roadway or off-road surface.
