The tilt-telescopic mechanism comprises a pair of side wall portions provided on both sides, in a vehicle width direction, of an upper column, a bolt penetrating the side wall portions and pressing the side wall portions against each other in an approaching direction, a lever, and a biasing portion arranged between each of the side wall portions and the upper column and operative to apply a pressing force to the upper column from the both sides, in the vehicle width direction, thereof. The biasing portion comprises a pair of upper-side pressing portions to press an upper portion of the upper column above its axial center from both sides and a pair of lower-side pressing portions to press a lower portion of that below its axial center from both sides.
