ABSTRACT:
An H-shaped bicycle handlebar assembly includes an elongated cross bar extending in a generally transverse relationship to a longitudinal vertical median plane through the handlebar assembly and a pair of end structures attached adjacent to respective opposite ends of the cross bar being spaced in opposite lateral directions away from the longitudinal vertical median plane. Each end structure includes a pair of forwardly and rearwardly directed bars extending in forward and rearward directions from a respective one opposite end of the cross bar such that the cross bar in combination with the end structures thereby define a generally H-shape. Also, each end structure includes an end attachment mechanism attaching the respective pair of forwardly and rearwardly directed bars at a location therebetween adjacent to the respective one opposite end of the cross bar. The end attachment mechanisms can be releasable and adjustable so as to permit changing the angle of inclination of the end structures about the opposite ends of the cross bar relative to a horizontal reference plane and also to permit changing of the positions of the end structures along the cross bar. The forwardly and rearwardly directed bars can be provided in alignment with one another or in various angular relationships to one another and to the cross bar.
