The invention claimed is: 1. A shovel for removing material from a surface, the shovel comprising: a blade with a concave front side, a convex rear side, and an edge for contacting the surface, the front side and rear side defining a forward and rearward direction respectively; a handle extending from the blade in a direction generally transverse to the edge of the blade; and a pivotable adjustable bracket connecting the handle to the blade; wherein, the handle comprises: a pair of shafts, each shaft having a first end, connected to the pivotable adjustable bracket, and a second end; a pair of extension members each having a first end, connected to the second end of one of the pair of shafts, and a second end, each of the extension members having an orientation defining an angle between a respective extension member and shaft of between approximately 70 degrees and approximately 110 degrees; and a crossbar having a first end and a second end connected to respective second ends of the pair of extension members; and the pivotable adjustable bracket comprises: a brace plate fixedly attached to the blade, the brace plate extending along the rear face of the blade transverse to the forward and rearward directions and further extending rearwardly from the blade; a pivot plate positioned adjacent to and generally parallel to the brace plate, the pivot plate being pivotally coupled to the brace plate; and a locking member coupled to the pivot plate and adapted to selectively engage the brace plate and prevent the pivot plate from pivoting relative to the brace plate. 2. The shovel of claim 1, wherein the locking member is coupled to the pivot plate with a support member and the locking member is pivotally coupled to the support member. 3. The shovel of claim 2, wherein the brace plate is adapted to receive the locking member in a plurality of locations providing for a corresponding plurality of blade positions. 4. The shovel of claim 3, wherein the locking member has an angle shape. 5. The shovel of claim 3, wherein the plurality of locations includes a plurality of recesses in the brace plate. 6. The shovel of claim 5, further comprising a second handle extending from the blade. 7. The shovel of claim 1, wherein the brace plate includes a plurality of recesses for receiving the locking member. 8. The shovel of claim 7, wherein the plurality of recesses define a plurality of angular blade positions. 9. The shovel of claim 8, wherein the plurality of angular positions include −17½ degrees, 0 degrees, and 17½ degrees. 10. The shovel of claim 8, wherein the plurality of angular blade positions includes three angular blade positions. 11. The shovel of claim 10, wherein the three angular blade positions include −17½ degrees, 0 degrees, and 17½ degrees. 12. The shovel of claim 10, further comprising a second handle extending from the blade. 13. The shovel of claim 1, wherein the locking member has an angle shape. 14. The shovel of claim 1, wherein the pivot plate is pivotally coupled to the brace plate with a fastener. 15. The shovel of claim 1, further comprising a second handle extending from the blade. 16. The shovel of claim 1, wherein each extension member is substantially perpendicular to a respective one of the pair of shafts. 17. The shovel of claim 1, wherein each shaft of the pair of shafts is rigidly coupled to the pivot plate. 18. The shovel of claim 1, wherein the crossbar is between approximately 25% and 75% the length of the pair of shafts. 19. The shovel of claim 1, wherein the crossbar is between approximately 40% and 60% the length of the pair of shafts. 20. The shovel of claim 1, wherein each of the shafts of the pair of shafts diverge from the other such that the first ends are closer in proximity than the second ends.
