  • Patent number: 4895044
    Abstract: A tubular hand grip fits on and over the end of the cycle handle. It has a peripheral outer surface that is grasped by the hand. An external flange is located adjacent to an end of the grip to limit the axial movement of the hand. A blade projects from the outer surface, and extends as a fragment of a helix toward the flange, increasing in lateral dimension as it goes. It preferably terminates at a gap in the flange. The thumb can be laid against the blade in a comfortable position to be stabilized and located there. The grip is preferably so proportioned that the first finger of the hand can be brought against the other side of the blade so the thumb and first finger exert an efficient gripping action that requires only minimal physical effort.
