Abstract: Handlebars are either attached or integrally formed with to the crosspiece of a conventional handlebar, to allow a cyclist to grip the handlebar with both hands in a lower position relative to the crosspiece and with both hands spaced closely together to the frontal profile of the cyclist. This allows for a reduction in wind resistance and thus, enhances the speed of the bicycle while reducing the amount of effort necessary to maintain the bicycle at a given speed. The handlebars enable a cyclist to have greater control over a bicycle because the hand grip portion of the handlebars turn outward from the centerline of the bicycle. To further enhance comfort, the handlebars may be designed to have a rotatable or extendable upper portion, thus allowing the handlebar to be tailored to an individual's body or preference.
