Abstract:
An articulating bicycle stem is disclosed herein wherein the stem comprising a handlebar-receiving region, a rotatable member receiving region, a rotatable inner member connected to the handlebar receiving member and received in an outer casing of the rotatable member receiving region. A stem body intervenes the rotatable member receiving region and a steering tube connector. The rotatable member receiving region may include a first releasable locking mechanism for selectively securing the rotatable inner member and inhibiting rotation of the rotatable inner member relative to the outer casing, and thus the handlebars, in at least one of a storage position or a riding position. A method of reducing the footprint of a bicycle is also provided and a kit of part therefor is also provided.

Claim (Index 29):
The articulating bicycle stem as defined in  claim 19 , further comprising:\n a first releasable locking mechanism comprising:\n a bar extending across a bore of the outer casing in a vicinity of a proximal end of the outer casing; and \n at least two channels or at least two pairs of detents located on a proximal end of the rotatable inner member, said bar being receivable in each of said channels or pairs of detents; and \n a second releasable locking mechanism, the second releasable locking mechanism configured to inhibit coaxial sliding movement of the rotatable inner member relative to the outer casing; wherein the first and second channels or first and second pair of detents define a first line and a second line, respectively, the first and second lines being normal to each other; wherein the first line defines the riding position of the handlebars and the second line defines the storage position of the handlebars.
