Abstract

An attachment for a handlebar includes a pair of relatively movable elements that are constrained against movement in a substantially vertical plane by resilient elements that generate opposing centering forces in response to relative movement of the pair of elements. The resilient force may be manually adjusted by altering the configuration of the mounting conditions of the resilient elements. Safety limiters are provided to inhibit excessive movements of the pair of relatively movable elements.
