Bicycle handlebars and handlebar attachments to provide multiple hand grips when a rider assumes different postures. The handlebars and attachments define three auxiliary hand grip positions. A first auxiliary gripping portion extends forward from a conventional handlebar parallel to a vertical, central common plane and inclined upwardly. A second auxiliary gripping portion parallels the conventional handlebars. A third auxiliary gripping portion parallels the common plane, lies below the handlebars and parallels the first auxiliary portion.
