Abstract: A safety harness that may be worn by a motorcyclist or the like is disclosed and comprises a pair of straps that extend over his shoulders. The portions of the straps that are positioned over the chest and the back of the cyclist are provided with hand grips. The straps may terminate in loops through which a belt may be passed. The tandem rider may grasp the pair of hand gripping members that are integral with either the portion of the straps in the front over the cyclist's chest or the pair of hand gripping members that are over the cyclist's back. In this manner the tandem rider is more responsive to the movement of the cyclist's upper torso.
