Abstract

Handlebar systems with movable handlebars re-positionable from a first position to a second position; e.g., but not limited to, the first position being a rider-upright or "touring" position, the second position being a rider-bent-over or "aero" position; and in some aspects to any position between these positions; and in certain aspects, each handlebar having a center member with slave apparatus or connection structure therein for synchronous complementary movement of the sides of the handlebars, with parts so connected that the sides move in unison. This abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure and is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims, 37 C.F.R. 1.72(b).
