Abstract
A shock absorbing device is provided to reduce shock that is transmitted to a handlebar of a bicycle, and includes a damping member disposed between a mount and a leg member and having a damping capacity. A driven member is rotatably mounted on the mount and is turned by a twist actuating member which is in synchronized operation with a brake actuating member of the bicycle. A regulating member is disposed to be actuated, in response to the angular movement of the driven member, to vary the damping capacity of the damping member, thereby enhancing the safety and comfort of the rider when the bicycle is braked.
