ABSTRACT:
A bicycle handlebar shock absorber for use with conventional handlebar support brackets, comprising a curved strip of flexible material which is adapted at one end thereof to be fixedly mounted on the head of the support bracket and at the other end thereof to be fixedly attached to the handlebar itself on both sides of the bracket clamp supporting the handlebar. With the shock absorber mounted on a bicycle, the bracket clamp is adjusted to allow rotational, but not radial, movement of the handlebar, and the flexible strip of the shock absorber acts as a torsion spring to dampen rotational movement of the handlebar induced by travel of the bicycle over rough terrain.
