• said lever being of arrow-shape having an arrow-head shaped on one end, an opposite end having a counterweight secured thereto, a pivot opening transversely through said lever near said counterweight, said opening receiving a pivot bolt of said base and about which said lever pivots;
• said base being comprised of a pair of generally U-shaped clips hooked together, a first of said clips supporting a second of said clips which carries said pivot bolt;
• said pivot bolt extending through an opening in each opposite end leg formed on said second clip, and said bolt also extending through openings formed in a pair of rubber friction washers one of which is positioned on each side of said lever, said bolt being fitted with a nut for adjusting a friction grasp of said lever by said washers, and opposite end legs formed on said first clip, each having an opening aligned together for receiving a mounting bolt after the said first clip is fitted around said bicycle handle bar arm, wherein said lever includes a sideward extension located between said arrowhead shaped end and said lever opening, said sideward extension being relatively close to said lever opening, said sideward extension and said counterweight each serving as a stop by abutting against said bicycle handle bar arm when said lever is pivoted between said horizontal and vertical positions respectively, and opposite sides of said lever having peripheral edges covered by a luminescent paint.
