Abstract
A bicycle brake lever assembly comprises a mount bracket having a front end and a base end fixable to a bicycle handlebar, and a brake lever extending downward from the mount bracket and having a connecting end pivotally connected to the front end of the mount bracket. The mount bracket further has an upper surface elongated enough to work as a palm rest for a rider. The brake lever has a first finger engaging portion which is substantially straight and extends rearward from the connecting end to approach the base end of the mount bracket. The brake lever further has a second finger engaging portion which is substantially straight and bent relative to the first finger engaging portion to extend downward away from the mount bracket.
