Drop handlebars (of the "ergo" or "anatomic" variety)Porteur type bicycle handlebar, from an Italian Bianchi bicycle, circa 1940
A bicycle handlebar[1] is the steering control for bicycles. It is the equivalent of a tiller for vehicles and vessels, as it is most often directly mechanically linked to a pivoting front wheel via a stem which in turn attaches it to the fork. Besides steering, handlebars also often support a portion of the rider's weight, depending on their riding position, and provide a convenient mounting place for brake levers, shift levers, cyclocomputers, bells, etc.
