An der Lenkstange montierte Gangschaltungshebel.

摘要

A steering handle apparatus for use in a bicycle includes a handle bar (2) and a change-speed lever apparatus (1) for effecting a change-speed operation with a forward operation or a return operation to a home position of its control lever (40). The control lever is disposed, in the home position, on a side of the handle bar (2) opposed to the other side contacting interdigital pads of a rider's hand gripping the grip portion (3) of the handle bar (2). Further, the control lever (40) extends towards the grip portion (3), and the forward operation on this control lever is effected in a direction aligned with a bending direction of the rider's thumb. The improved bicycle steering handle apparatus assures the rider of greater safety by always providing the rider with a good gripping condition and of easier control lever operation.
