AI Technical Summary
The gear cables on existing bicycle handlebars are exposed, causing them to wobble unsightly and posing a safety hazard.
Design a bicycle shifter that is installed on the side section of the bicycle handlebars, so that the center line of the shifter cable outlet and the center line of the side section of the handlebars intersect along the extension direction of the bicycle, so as to achieve a close fit between the shifter cable and the handlebars.
The cross-trend design avoids the risk of gear cables wobbling and getting caught on foreign objects, improving both the aesthetics and safety of the bicycle.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bicycles, and relates to bicycle handlebars, and particularly to a bicycle shifter with the shift cable closely attached to the flat handlebar. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the shift cables (including brake cables) on bicycles are exposed after exiting the shifters. This causes them to wobble and is unsightly while riding, making operation difficult and increasing the risk of them getting caught on objects, thus posing a safety hazard. Therefore, the shift cables should be routed as close to the inside of the bicycle as possible. To achieve this, for flat-handle bicycles, when the shift cables need to extend from the sides towards the center, they should be kept as close to the handlebars as possible, achieving both safety and aesthetics. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bicycle shifter that eliminates safety hazards while ensuring the aesthetics of the bicycle handlebars.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A bicycle shifter is installed on the side section of a bicycle handlebar. The handlebar is a middle section fixed to the handlebar stem. The two ends of the middle section of the handlebar are integrally formed into two side sections. The shifter is installed on one side section of the handlebar. The center line of the shifter cable outlet and the center line of the side section of the handlebar intersect along the extension direction of the middle section of the handlebar.
[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the center line of the shifter cable outlet and the center line of the corresponding flat handlebar side section intersect in the direction of extension of the middle section of the flat handlebar when viewed from above on the bicycle.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the center line of the shift finger cable outlet and the center line of the corresponding flat handlebar side section intersect in the direction of the bicycle's rear view along the extension direction of the middle section of the flat handlebar.
[0007] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: The bicycle shifter is installed on the side section of the bicycle handlebar. The handlebar is a middle section fixed to the handlebar stem. The two ends of the middle section of the handlebar are integrally formed into two side sections. The shifter is installed on one side section of the handlebar. The center line of the shifter cable outlet and the center line of the side section of the handlebar intersect along the extension direction of the middle section of the handlebar, so that the shifter cable outlet is close to the handlebar. While ensuring the aesthetics of the bicycle handlebar, it also prevents the risk of the shifter cable in front of the handlebar from wobbling and being snagged by foreign objects.
[0008] Furthermore, the center line of the shifter cable outlet and the center line of the corresponding flat handlebar side section intersect along the extension direction of the middle section of the flat handlebar in the rear view direction of the bicycle (or in the top view direction of the bicycle).

[0013] The following supplementary explanations are provided for the above attached figures: Detailed Implementation
[0014] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The following is a detailed description:
[0015] A bicycle shifter is mounted on a flat handlebar 1. The flat handlebar 1 is a central section 12 fixed to the handlebar stem. Two side sections 11 are integrally formed at both ends of the central section 12. The shifter 2 is mounted on one side section 11. The center line of the cable outlet 21 of the shifter 2 (see the dotted line in the view) and the center line of the corresponding side section (see the dotted line in the view) are aligned in the rear-view direction of the bicycle (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown, the gear cables extend in a crisscrossing pattern along the middle section of the flat handlebar, allowing them to fit closer to the handlebar and ensuring the aesthetics of the bicycle handlebar while eliminating safety hazards.
[0016] The center line of the cable exit 21 of the shifter 2 (see the dotted line in the view) and the center line of the corresponding flat handlebar side section (see the dotted line in the view) can also be seen from the top view of the bicycle (e.g., Figure 2 As shown, the direction of extension along the middle section of the flat handle is intersecting.
[0017] Furthermore, the center line of the cable exit 21 of the shifter 2 (see the dotted line in the view) and the center line of the corresponding flat handlebar side section (see the dotted line in the view) are simultaneously in the rear-view direction of the bicycle (e.g., Figure 1 As shown) and in the direction viewed from above by the bicycle (such as Figure 2 As shown, the gear cables extend in a crisscrossing pattern along the middle section of the flat handlebar, allowing them to fit closer to the handlebar and ensuring the aesthetics of the bicycle handlebar while eliminating safety hazards.
