A bicycle comprising a frame, front and rear wheels supporting the frame, and a brake lever assembly including a brake lever and an end cap. The brake lever has a pivot portion, a gripping portion defining a gripping length, and a free end defining an end width. The end cap is detachably secured to the free end and defines a cap width larger than the end width. The end cap has a maximum dimension that is less than the gripping length and is preferably substantially symmetrical (e.g., spherical) around the free end. The brake lever assembly can include a fastener securing the end cap to the free end. For example, the fastener can thread through the end cap and engage the brake lever. In order to enhance securing the end cap to the free end, the end cap can include a recess that is dimensioned to receive the free end.
