  • Patent number: 6098493
    Abstract: In combination with a bicycle handlebar having a crossbar portion connected to a bicycle stem, a handle and torso support assembly, including: (1) a pair of handle extensions having a handle clamp affixed at one end of each handle extension, and (2) clamping means for securing the handle clamps to the crossbar portion, the handle extensions extending rearwardly and upwardly to a region rearward from the crossbar portion to define a rider position whereby the rider's hands are located under the rider's upper torso when steering a bicycle using the handle extensions. The handle and torso assembly further includes a torso support extension that is secured to the crossbar portion with a torso clamp. Thus, the handle and torso support extensions provide for a bicycle rider to assume an aerodynamic forward leaning rest position in which his silhouette is minimized while conserving energy.
