Handlebars

2015-02-15T19:13:33Z

Edcramp: Added bullhorn bars

Handlebars are the mechanism for controlling steering on a bicycle. They also support part of a rider’s weight, depending on position, and provide a location for mounting other controls, such as [[shifters]] and [[brake levers]], and accessories, such as a reflector, light, bell, or side mirror. Handlebars attach to the [[stem]] via a clamp.

==Types==

There are two broad categories of handlebars. These are flat and drop handlebars. While each is named for the most common variant within them, they are categorized according to the diameter of the tubing, particularly that in the grip area. Both due to design and tubing diameter differences, each style has associated controls and accessories. These differences and some variants of each style are discussed below.

Some types of handlebars don’t conveniently fit into one of these categories. Bullhorn bars, perhaps the most common example, are also discussed below.

===Flat ===

[[Image:oldflat.jpg|thumb|Upright bar]]
[[Image:newflat.jpg|thumb|Riser bar]]

One common style of handlebar is the flat handlebar. The conventional form of this type consists of a straight tube, hence the name. The grip area diameter of this tube is 22.2 millimeters while the clamp size may be either 25.4 millimeters, as on older bikes, or 31.8 millimeters, for some more modern bikes.

Flat handlebars are held by rubber grips at the bar end and the bar is either covered by the grip or by a plug. They all share a [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Flat_Style similar style of brake lever] and may use thumb, grip, or trigger [[shifters]]

Flat bars come in a number of variants. The following is a list of some such variants.

* Riser
* Upright or North Road
* BMX
* Cruiser

===Drop ===

[[Image:oldroad.jpg|thumb|Old drop bar with extension brake levers]]
[[Image:newroad.jpg|thumb|New drop bar with integrated shifting]]

The other common style of handlebar is the drop handlebar. These handlebars are bent in such a way to provide multiple hand positions, including a low, aerodynamic position from which they derive their name. The grip area diameter of this tube is 23.8 millimeters while the clamp size may be either 26.0 millimeters, as on older bikes, or 31.8 millimeters, for some more modern bikes.

Drop handlebars may be gripped anywhere along the bar, which is typically covered by some sort of [[bar tape]] for comfort. Bar ends are covered by a plug that also often doubles to secure the bar tape.

They all share a [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Drop_Style similar style of brake lever], which can be activated while on the hood or in the drops. Old examples of such brakes incorporated [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Extension_Levers extension brake levers] for use while on the flat portion of the bar. More modern examples have done away with this, but may be paired with [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Interrupt_Levers interrupt brake levers] for this purpose.

On old bikes with drop bars, the shifters were commonly on the downtube or stem. Some have what are called bar end shifters, which take the place of plugs. Modern bikes with drop bars often use shifters that is integrated into the brake level, often called [[brifters]].

Drop bars come in a number of variants. The following is a list of some such variants.

* Traditional
* Randonneur
* Track

===Bullhorn===

Another style of handlebar is the bullhorn or pursuit handlebar. These handlebars have a straight section like flat bars, but curve forward at the ends. This forward section provides the primary hand position.

These bars are typically wrapped in [[bar tape]] and may be capped with plugs, like drop bars.

They come in both the drop and flat bar tubing standards, so one must take care when matching parts to these handlebars.

These handlebars allow for the use of a [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Bar_End unique style of brake lever] mounted to the ends of the bar. Depending on the style of brake lever mount, they may also lend themselves to bar end shifters. However, one may find almost any style of brake lever or shifter on bullhorns.


One may also [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Making_%E2%80%9Cflop_and_chop%E2%80%9D_bullhorn_bars make bullhorn bars from drop bars].

Handlebars

2014-12-22T13:07:05Z

Edcramp: Rewrite on parts page to include bar variants and more integration to shifter and brake lever pages

Handlebars are the mechanism for controlling steering on a bicycle. They also support part of a rider’s weight, depending on position, and provide a location for mounting other controls, such as [[shifters]] and [[brake levers]], and accessories, such as a reflector, light, bell, or side mirror. Handlebars attach to the [[stem] via a clamp.

==Types==

There are two broad categories of handlebars. These are flat and drop handlebars. While each is named for the most common variant within them, they are categorized according to the diameter of the tubing, particularly that in the grip area. Both due to design and tubing diameter differences, each style has associated controls and accessories. These differences and some variants of each style are discussed below.

===Flat ===

[[Image:oldflat.jpg|thumb|Upright bar]]
[[Image:newflat.jpg|thumb|Riser bar]]

One style of handlebar is the flat handlebar. The conventional form of this type consists of a straight tube, hence the name. The grip area diameter of this tube is 22.2 millimeters while the clamp size may be either 25.4 millimeters, as on older bikes, or 31.8 millimeters, for some more modern bikes.

Flat handlebars are held by rubber grips at the bar end and the bar is either covered by the grip or by a plug. They all share a [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Flat_Style similar style of brake lever] and may use thumb, grip, or trigger [[shifters]]

Flat bars come in a number of variants. The following is a list of some such variants.

* Riser
* Upright or North Road
* BMX
* Cruiser

===Drop ===

[[Image:oldroad.jpg|thumb|Old drop bar with extension brake levers]]
[[Image:newroad.jpg|thumb|New drop bar with integrated shifting]]

The other style of handlebar is the drop handlebar. These handlebars are bent in such a way to provide multiple hand positions, including a low, aerodynamic position from which they derive their name. The grip area diameter of this tube is 23.8 millimeters while the clamp size may be either 26.0 millimeters, as on older bikes, or 31.8 millimeters, for some more modern bikes.

Drop handlebars may be gripped anywhere along the bar, which is typically covered by some sort of [[bar tape]] for comfort. Bar ends are covered by a plug that also often doubles to secure the bar tape.

They all share a [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Drop_Style similar style of brake lever], which can be activated while on the hood or in the drops. Old examples of such brakes incorporated [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Extension_Levers extension brake levers] for use while on the flat portion of the bar. More modern examples have done away with this, but may be paired with [http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Brake_Levers#Interrupt_Levers interrupt brake levers] for this purpose.

On old bikes with drop bars, the shifters were commonly on the downtube or stem. Some have what are called bar end shifters, which take the place of plugs. Modern bikes with drop bars often use shifters that is integrated into the brake level, often called [[brifters]].

Drop bars come in a number of variants. The following is a list of some such variants.

* Traditional
* Randonneur
* Track

Important Points on Handlebars

Edcramp: Page created from some text of old handlebar page

== Important Points ==

* The older flat bar is not flat at all, but it does have grips.

* The brake levers on the old road bar have extensions that point inward - these are known as extension levers or safety levers.

* The old flat bar has a thumb shifter - the black thing near the brake lever, used to shift gears. The new flat bar has a shifter which is operated by twisting, labeled "[[Grip Shift]]" and located between the brake lever and the grip.

* On the old road bicycle, the [[shifters]] are on the [[downtube]]. On the new bicycle, the brake levers are also shift levers. This style is used on almost every modern road bicycle. Shifters will either be on the downtube or attached to the stem on road bicycles.

* You will find old flat bars on city bikes and cruisers. New flat bars are on all mountain bikes and some newer city bikes and hybrids. Road bikes will look more like the old road bars here than the new ones, except that many will not have extension levers.

* The old and new examples are only provided to show that not all bars of the same type look very similar. All road bike brake levers will fit all road bars, and all flat bar brake levers, shifters, and grips will fit all flat bars.

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a grassroots, all-volunteer, 501(c)3 organization that collects and repairs used bicycles for distribution, free of charge, to the Rochester, NY area's most needy children and adults. Our mission is meeting the basic transportation needs of those in the community who depend on bikes for recreation as well as for transport to work, school, rehabilitation programs, and training sessions. For this segment of the population, both quality of life and the ability to participate in our community are greatly enhanced when our mission is achieved. R Community Bikes also provides a venue for the Rochester bicycling community to conduct educational programs relative to bicycle safety and maintenance.

We are open to the public Monday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at our warehouse at 226 Hudson Ave. (at the intersection with Woodbury Street). Bike give-aways take place only on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the warehouse beginning at 9:30 AM. In addition, we perform bike repairs, free of charge, daily at the shop, and in the summer at four off-site locations.

We welcome donations of bikes, bike parts, tools and money to cover expenses such as spare parts. We are always in need of volunteers to serve as mechanics and a variety of other positions. We provide the necessary training.

Community Bicycle Organizations

2014-12-12T22:04:07Z

Edcramp: /* New York */ Added four community bike shop names, to expand into pages

The list below uses the criteria found in the old [[Bicycle Organization Organization Project]] for what constitutes a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_bike_shop community bike shop], namely:

* Non-profit bicycle organizations
* Bike shops that are accessible to people without money
* Shops that have an educational focus, teaching others how to fix bikes
* Shops that are volunteer run
* Organizations that ship bikes to communities in other countries.
* Shops that provide free or low-cost services to the community.
* Organizations that recycle bicycles and parts

'''Maps of Community Bicycle Organizations'''

''Please note: the maps are not synced with each other or the list on this page.'' Both maps are international.

Here is the current, open-collaboration [http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=215640192972316876618.0004a00c0210cf27fd36f&ll=36.173357,-105.644531&spn=43.727571,113.027344&z=3 '''Google map'''], entitled "Earth's Community Bicycle Organizations". It is probably more comprehensive for '''North America'''. The comments associated with the map contain information about the organization and management of the map and its list; you can edit the map to include, or correct, information for your local bike collectives.

Here is the [http://www.heureux-cyclage.org/Les-ateliers-velo-dans-le-monde.html?lang=en '''open street map,'''] which includes all French ateliers (workshops) and is probably more comprehensive for '''Europe'''. You can find more information about this map [http://www.heureux-cyclage.org/La-carte-de-L-Heureux-Cyclage-le.html?lang=en '''here'''.]

[http://www.re-cycle.org/Donate/Bike/Search '''Here'''] is a Re~Cycle's searchable map of UK bike re-use projects - bit more than on this site.

Bike Giveaway

2014-12-11T17:14:31Z

Edcramp: Create service page

Used bicycles refurbished by volunteer mechanics are given to people who meet requirements set by the organization to qualify to receive one.

==[[R Community Bikes]]==
Those who wish to receive a bike must obtain a referral letter from a social service agency or similar organization indicating their need for a bicycle, usually as a means of transportation. On the day of the giveaway, they must also bring a bike lock or money for a lock and chain and a form of identification for records purposes.

At the beginning of the giveaway, a lottery is drawn to determine the order in which people will receive bikes, so the opportunity to get a bike, or a certain style bike, is fair. After someone has received a giveaway bike, they may not receive another for one year unless they provide a police report regarding the theft of the first bike.

Bike giveaways are held biweekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The bikes given away are donated bikes that are refurbished by volunteer mechanics during shop hours. The goal of this service is to provide a means of transportation for those who are in need

==Biography==

I was born on December 7, 1984 to Susan and Edward Cramp, Sr. I was raised on a farm in Oley, Pennsylvania. I graduated high school in 2003, near the top of my class. Following high school, I attended Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania where I received a Bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics in 2007. Following my college graduation, I moved to Rochester, New York to continue my studies. In 2010, I received a Master’s degree in physics with a focus in plasma physics from the University of Rochester, ending my formal education. Since then, I remained in Rochester. I volunteer for and hold the title of Lead Mechanic at [[R Community Bikes]], a community bike shop. I have been predominantly a cycling commuter since 2008, and have gone without a car since 2012. I am an engaged advocate for active transportation.

Our mission is meeting the basic transportation needs of those in the community who depend on bikes for recreation as well as for transport to work, school, rehabilitation programs, and training sessions. For this segment of the population, both quality of life and the ability to participate in our community are greatly enhanced when our mission is achieved.

In addition, we perform bike repairs, free of charge, daily at the shop, and in the summer at four off-site locations.

We welcome donations of bikes, bike parts, tools and money to cover expenses such as spare parts. We are always in need of volunteers to serve as mechanics and a variety of other positions. We provide the necessary training.
