Novel handlebars for a bicycle are disclosed. The handlebars include a crosspiece (122) connected to a bicycle steering post (34) with sideways portions extending therefrom. The handlebars of the invention have hand grip portions (70) that are located relatively close together to encourage the rider to adopt a riding position in which the frontal area of the rider's silhouette is minimized, and in which the rider's elbows are located ahead of the rider's lungs. Turned handlebar portions (124) extend from the sideways portions and extend generally forwardly and inwardly to define a pair of forward handle portions (70) spaced apart a distance less than the width of the crosspiece. A front loop portion (72) interconnects the forward handle portions so that all of the portions define a continuous loop forward of the steering post. |
