The present invention relates to a bicycle handlebar, for a bicycle, arranged for providing at least one function for the purpose of at least one subsystem of the bicycle. The bicycle handlebar includes a head tube part that during use, at least partly, substantially extends along the head tube, a left handlebar bend with a handle end that extends to the left side from the head tube part, and a left handlebar bend with a handle end that extends to the right side from the head tube part. The bicycle handlebar includes at least an internal feedthrough channel from at least one of the left handlebar bend and right handlebar bend and wherein the at least one internal feedthrough channel extends into the head tube part.

A front wheel pivoting assembly for a bicycle allowing for a front wheel of the bicycle to be articulated includes a bracket, a secondary head tube, a pivot unit, and a controller. The bracket and controller are mountable to an integral head tube and a handlebar, respectively, of a frame of a bicycle lacking a front fork assembly and a handlebar stem. Lower and upper ends of the secondary head tube engage the front fork assembly and the handlebar stem, respectively. A hinge is engaged to and extends between the bracket and the secondary head tube. The pivot unit is engaged to the bracket and is operationally engaged to the secondary head tube, allowing for reversible positioning of the secondary head tube. The controller selectively actuates the pivot unit, allowing a user to pull back and to push forward on the handlebar to extend and retract, respectively, the front wheel.

A bicycle handlebar stem or stem/handlebar assembly has an inclined linear travel approximately 45 degrees from horizontal. This inclined path mimics a rider's natural arm inclination and pitching moment. 45 degrees is nearly ideal for most dropped bar road bicycles but different style bicycles may have an ideal angle between 30 and 60 degrees.

A handle to be installed on an upper bracket that connects upper end sides of a pair of front forks is provided. The handle includes a handle bar and a handle holder. The handle bar includes a base portion installed on an upper surface of the upper bracket. The handle holder extends from a center of the upper surface of the upper bracket toward the pair of front forks. The base portion and the handle holder are fixed to the upper bracket by a fixing member.
