[origin: WO9524333A1] This invention is a grip (10) for the end of the type of bicycle handlebars (15) which has an end (25) projecting at right angles to the bicycle (20). The grip (10) and handlebars (15) combination is designed and shaped to allow riders to ride in several different vertical positions, or several different crouched down positions, or in a crouched down position with arm support, at will. The grip (10) comprises in a single integral unit: a central portion (30), a downward portion (50) extending downward and rearward from the central portion (30), a horizontal portion (55) extending rearward from the downward portion (50), an upper portion (60) extending upwards and forwards at an angle from the central portion (30), and an inwards portion (75) extending forwards and inwards at an angle from the upper portion (60). The grip (10) is attached at right angles to the end (10) of the handlebars (15) at the central portion (30). Attachment may be made by a clamp (110) so that grips (10) in accordance with this invention may be affixed to existing handlebars (15).
