ABSTRACT:
A handlebar mounted brake control mechanism for a Bowden brake cable or the like includes a handlebar having at least one end, a tubular handle member having first and second ends configured to telescopically slide over one end of the handlebar and being coaxially rotatable thereabout between a relaxed position and a braking position. A handle member biasing mechanism is located on the handlebar for biasing the handle member into the relaxed position, and a handle member guide is used to axially displace the handle member reciprocally between the relaxed position and the braking position. The handle member biasing mechanism is configured such that when the overriding force applied by the user to rotate the handle member into the braking position is released, the handle member biasing mechanism returns the handle member to the relaxed position from the braking position. Additionally, the handle member has an attachment for releasably accommodating an end of the brake cable.
