Reported risk: Aero bars are handlebar extensions typically used on racing and triathlon bicycles that either clip on to the handlebars or are sold as an integrated handlebar and stem system. The aero bars allow riders to ride in an aerodynamic crouching position. The recalled aero bars are an integrated system, having a cast aluminumm centerpiece, which is attached to a handlebar, a stem and two aero bars, each approximately 15 inches long, protruding in front of the handlebar. The VisionTech logo is displayed in gold lettering against a black background on the wings of the bar. Bicycle aero bars bearing a silver and red decal on the wings with the words "Vision by Full Speed Ahead" are not included in this recall. Hazards: The centerpiece of these bicycle aero bars can crack or break, causing the bicycle rider to lose control and crash.
