Abstract: A steering member for a bicycle has extension sections extending outwardly from the central mounting section and a pair of opposed handgrip sections positioned adjacent to the ends of the extension sections. The extension sections are contoured along their length to have a cross-sectional shape and other contours which are complementary to the shape of the hand of the rider. Also, the handgrip sections have enlarged handgripping surfaces, that is, the curves which form the upper surfaces are adapted to be complementary to the curve of the palm of the rider's hand and the outer edges have curves adapted to be encircled by the fingers of the rider's hands.
