ABSTRACT:
A lockable shock absorber interconnecting the upper portion of a bicycle front wheel fork with a handlebar thereabove provides releasably joinable body extending upwardly from the bicycle fork and pivotally mounting in its upper portion an elongate handlebar arm releasably carrying a handlebar in its end portion. The handlebar arm is biased in an upwardly angled orientation, but movable downwardly against its bias to absorb shock. Biasing is provided by a compression spring carried about a depending spring rod pivotally mounted in the medial portion of the handlebar arm. The lower portion of the compression spring is supported on a bracket carried by the body and the spring rod is slidably carried within a vertical hole defined in the bracket. A horizontal fastening pin slidably carried by the bracket perpendicular to the spring rod is movable from a first position locking the spring rod relative to the bracket to a second position allowing motion of the spring rod relative to the bracket.
