A bicycle handlebar includes a midsection attached to a front mounting post of a bicycle and extending outward from the front mounting post in a substantially horizontal plane. A pair of pad-support sections are respectively disposed on opposite lateral sides of the midsection. A pair of arm support pads are each attached to a respective one of the pad-support sections such that each pad-support section and attached arm support pad conjunctively have an airfoil-shaped cross section. Each arm support pad supports a respective arm of a bicycle rider.

A circular housing having a top surface and a bottom surface, and an inner chamber, where a ring on the top surface of the circular housing has a teethed upper surface, and a housing magnet is located within the inner chamber of the housing. A lid is to be located on the top surface of the housing, and a lid magnet located within the lid is magnetically attracted to the housing magnet when the lid is positioned on top surface of the housing. The outer perimeter of the top surface of the lid is teethed, and the teethed outer perimeter of the top surface of the lid and the teethed upper surface of the ring interlock when the lid is positioned on top surface of the housing.

A dual powered propulsion system for use with a human powered vehicle is provided. The system includes a connecting rod with a front end operatively coupled to yoke-connected forearm bars. The system also includes a splitter coupled to a rear end of the connecting rod, wherein the splitter is coupled to a first rack and a second rack that operate with a first and second pinion gear to turn a crank axle. This system supplies rotational power to the crank axle in a single rotational direction as the connecting rod is oscillated up and down and back and forth. Even though a solid connecting rod is used to transfer power from the oscillating forearm bars to the crank axle, the vehicle is steerable to the right or left as a result of the use of a carriage, on rollers, and a turning track operatively connected to the forearm bars.

An aerodynamic assembly for bike handlebars, includes two distinct extension devices (4a, 4b), each of the two extension devices (4a, 4b) having: a first armrest-forming part (5a, 5b), able to be fastened on a transverse bar of a bike handlebars (1) while extending longitudinally forwards and including a longitudinal extension (6a, 6b) forming a free end portion. An upper surface of the first part with its longitudinal extension forming a receiving surface for a forearm part of a cyclist. A second extension-forming part (8a, 8b), able to be fastened, in a removable manner and in the extension of the first part (5a, 5b), to the free end portion, the second extension-forming part (8a, 8b) being able to slide longitudinally relative to said longitudinal extension (6a, 6b) so as to allow an adjustment of a distance separating a free end of the second extension-forming part (8a, 8b) from the first armrest-forming part (5a, 5b).

A prone bicycle comprising a frame (1), a front wheel (2), a rear wheel (3), a drive mechanism (4) for driving the rear wheel (3), and a pedal mechanism (5) for driving the drive mechanism (4), in which, the front wheel (2) and rear wheel (3) are mounted on the front portion and rear portion of the frame (1), wherein: a forearm support member (6) is mounted at the frame (1) front portion, and a dynamic knee support member (7) having synchronous movement with the pedal mechanism (5) is mounted between the pedal mechanism (5) and the frame (1). Designed with multi-point dynamic and static supports, this prone bicycle improves riding comfort and efficiency and is combined with crawling fitness function.

A handlebar assembly for steering a vehicle includes a handlebar, a grip positioned on the handlebar at a first end of the handlebar assembly, and a hand control assembly positioned adjacent the grip. The hand control assembly includes an optical sensor. The optical sensor has a housing with a light transmissive section, a light source configured to emit light, and a light sensor configured to detect light. The light source and the light sensor are positioned at least partially within the housing. The optical sensor is operable to detect movement of a vehicle operator along the light transmissive section of the housing by detecting reflected light from the light source with the light sensor.

An electric toy vehicle according to the present disclosure comprises an illuminated handlebar including a hollow tube having a first end and a second end. The illuminated handlebar also includes a light disposed within the hollow tube and between the first end and the second end of the tube and a switch electrically coupled to the light and disposed at one of the first end and the second end of the hollow tube. The toy vehicle further includes a motor electrically coupled to the switch and a battery electrically coupled to the motor, the light and the switch. The light is visible within the hollow tube when the switch is activated and the motor powers the electric toy vehicle.

A vehicle includes a right front wheel, a left front wheel, a brake operator, grips, and a steering force transmission which transmits a steering force to the right front wheel and the left front wheel. The steering force transmission includes a steering shaft, a handlebar, and a tie rod. Brake operators, which operate the brakes, and the grips are located on the handlebar, and a rubber damper located on the steering force transmission significantly reduces or prevents vibrations from being transmitted to the grips, wherein the vibrations are due to a difference between a frictional force generated between the right front wheel and a corresponding road surface and a frictional force generated between the left front wheel and a corresponding road surface.
