0 the bar at the front of a bicycle etc which is held by the rider and by which the bicycle etc is steered -- hendal
The cyclist was thrown over the handlebars when he crashed his bike.
The appellant was holding the handlebars while the other boy tried with a crowbar to force open the chain and padlock securing the motor cycle.
That would make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to see without any barriers getting in the way of handlebars.
I pointed out that mirrors normally fitted to handlebars do change their attitude but vibration is also a problem on motor-cycles.
The limitation does not strengthen the regulation but seems to say that if you have not dropped handlebars you need not keep a good lookout.
Unless the cyclist is holding the handlebars carefully, he can be dislodged by the impact, or the items that he is carrying can be dislodged.
In the case of motor cycles, the notice could be attached to the handlebars or to the windscreens which many motor cycles now have.
I have no power to prohibit the sale of drop-type handlebars.
For example, there are the handlebars of bicycles.
