FUNCTIONAL BICYCLE HANDLEBAR
20180001955 · 2018-01-04 ·

The title of the present invention is a functional bicycle handlebar, and the technical field to which the present invention belongs is a bicycle handlebar, which can be pushed down forwards/backwards or pulled up to the original position, the height of which can be adjusted upwards/downwards, and which can be bent downwards. The problem to be resolved by the present invention is to eliminate the following drawbacks of an existing bicycle handlebar: the same is fixed in a predetermined position and at a predetermined height and thus cannot be varied according to the user's physical condition or the running condition, for example, thereby inconveniencing loading, movement, and parking. Technical means for resolving the above problem comprise the following three major functions: 1) a function for enabling the bicycle handlebar to be moved through sliding forwards/backwards; 2) a function for enabling the bicycle handlebar to be lifted or lowered upwards/downwards; and 3) a function for enabling handles on both sides of the handlebar to be folded downwards (towards the ground) at various angles. The present invention has the following advantages: the handlebar position can be adjusted according to the user's physical condition; the posture can be lowered or made upright during running so as to reduce physical stress, to lower the center of gravity, and to decrease the resistance of wind, thereby enabling more safe, fast running; it is possible to easily deal with rough roads, topographical changes, direction changes, unexpected situations, etc.; and inconveniences in loading and parking of the bicycle can be removed.
