2101260 9213749 PCTABS00014 A bicycle handlebar assembly (25) for damping and reducing the shock to which a cyclist is normally exposed is disclosed. The assembly includes a mounting block (256) attached to the head (12) of a bicycle front fork assembly. An upper linkage member (252) and a lower linkage member (254) that are parallel and spaced apart from each other are pivotally attached at their tail ends to the mounting block. A handlebar clamp (258) for securing a set of handlebars (24) thereto is pivotally attached to the front ends of the upper and lower linkage members. A damping element is disposed against one of the linkage members for slowing the downward movement of the linkage members and serving as a sink for a downward force applied to the linkage members when the handlebars are urged downward. In some preferred embodiments of the invention the damping member is a layer of elastomeric material (52) disposed between the upper and lower linkage members. In other embodiments of the invention the damping members include a spring element (268).
