A handlebar grip which incorporates a hinge in or near the outboard end of the grip allowing a substantial portion of the grip to flip up from the grip body to become the equivalent of a hard-mounted bar end, but with the ability to easily flip back down flush with or adjacent to the grip body and out of harm's way when riding in tight quarters. The bar ends can be deployed when riding uphill providing all the advantages of bar ends, and just as easily flipped closed when riding downhill so that they do not interfere with nearby obstacles. In addition, by incorporating the inventive bar end feature into the grip itself, the bicycle controls do not have to be moved inboard on the handlebar, and nothing protrudes past the end of the handlebar.
