Abstract
A bicycle stern with a shock absorber which is mounted between a handlebar and a steering tube includes a stem body, a clamping member and an elastomer. The stem body has a clamping portion formed at one end thereof, and two fork portions formed at another end of the stein body. The clamping member is connected with the clamping portion for clamping the handlebar, and the elastomer is disposed between the two fork portions. Under this arrangement, when a shock is generated from the rough road, the elastomer is compressed by the two fork portions, so that the elastomer is deformed appropriately and absorbs the shock from the road. Therefore, a rider could hold the handlebar comfortably.
