A shock absorbing handle bar grip to surround the opposite ends of metal handle bars of the kind that are found on a conventional bicycle. The handle bar grip includes inner and outer elastomeric layers that are bonded together along an irregular boundary region. The inner elastomeric layer of the grip is denser than the outer elastomeric layer. The irregular boundary region includes successive V-shaped pairs of faces, where each V-shaped pair of faces are aligned to make an angle of approximately 60 degrees. By bonding the inner and outer elastomeric layers of the handle bar grip to one another along an angled boundary region, some of the shock waves that are transmitted from the metal handle bars will be reflected at the boundary region to be absorbed within the inner elastomeric layer of the grip. By controlling the direction of the reflected shock waves the rider's hands will feel less of the vibrations that are generated when the wheels of his bicycle travel over a rough or bumpy terrain.
