The growing use of bicycles by all age groups coupled with their involvement in numerous accidents has increased the impact of bicycles as a highway safety problem. Since the handling characteristics of bicycles can affect their safety, the present experiment evaluated the maneuverability of three basic handlebar configurations: racing (drop), standard, and high rise. The performance observed on the bicycles with high rise and standard handlebar configurations indicated they were not significantly different from each other. On the circle, figure 8, and slalom tasks, performance with both the high rise and standard handlebars was significantly better than the race. The high rise showed a slight performance edge on tasks requiring the greatest amount of maneuvering, while the standard handlebars offered more control at slower speeds, and on tasks requiring stability in tracking.
