  1. I'm not sure of the exact name of them, but you see them on the handlebars of road bikes. It has a place for your elbows to rest, and a place for your hands [arms 'stretched out'].

    Thanks!

  2. Hey Pseudotrek. They have two names that i know of:

    Tri-Bars (short for triathlon, as many are used in these events)

    or..

    Aero Bars.

    Hope this helps, mate. 🙂

    Clip-on's is another name for them.

  4. i call them "the lazy bars" because they feel like the lazy boy of bikes...

  5. Thanks guys! A big help. I didn't want to walk into the bike shop and say,

    "Hey, do you have any of those, . . . . you know, the things that you put on your handlebars,. ."

    "A Bell?"

    "No, one of those long things that. . "

    "A horn?"

    "No, it isn't anything that makes noise."

    "A basket?"

    😕 ". . . . . . . . Uh. . . . NO!"

    Anyway, you get the idea. Thank you kindly for the information! 🙂
