Abstract
Embodiments provide one or more handlebar extensions which may be removably mounted to a handlebar of a bicycle. The handlebar extensions may include a cylindrical member having a first end portion and a second end portion. The handlebar extensions may further include a coupling mechanism for releasably coupling the second end portion to the handlebar. The first end portion may extend above the handlebar and may be configured to be grasped by a rider of the bicycle. In various embodiments, the first end portion may be at least partially bent with respect to the second end portion.
