Handlebar-Flipping Bicycle Attachments

FlipCrown Makes It Easier to Cram Your Bicycle Anywhere

— February 11, 2015 — Autos
FlipCrown is the device that helps cyclists address the age old problem of being stuck in a parking spot because of the handlebars being too long. This contraption enables cyclists to flip their handlebars sideways when they park their bike.

Users simply have to install the device in place of their existing setup, a process that only takes about 15 minutes. From that point on, every time they want to turn their handlebars parallel to the front wheel, they can use an included hex wrench to loosen the stem bolt, push the FlipCrown's release button and turn the bars 90 degrees. The process is simply reversed to get the handlebars straight again.

As an avid urban cyclist, I can totally relate to the problem of being unable to get into and out of mint parking spots because of handlebars. This is a great and simple innovation that will save a lot of cyclists a lot of grief.

1. Handlebar-flipping Technology - The development of handlebar-flipping technology presents an opportunity for manufacturers to create more compact and versatile bicycles.

3. User-friendly Bike Modifications - The rise of user-friendly bike modifications, such as the FlipCrown, highlights the potential for companies to tap into the market demand for easy-to-install and convenient accessories.
Industry Implications
1. Bicycle Manufacturing - Bicycle manufacturers can capitalize on the demand for handlebar-flipping technology by incorporating flip-crown attachments into their product lines, attracting urban cyclists seeking space-saving solutions.
2. Urban Planning - Urban planning professionals can explore opportunities to integrate handlebar-flipping bicycles into urban infrastructure, developing bicycle parking facilities that accommodate this new innovation.
3. Bicycle Accessories - Companies specializing in bicycle accessories can seize the market for user-friendly bike modifications, offering products like the FlipCrown to enhance the functionality and convenience of cyclists' rides.
