A bicycle having an upright steering wheel unit.

The structure of the bicycle that has been devised so far is not intended to run in an upright position, but everyone is to sit and ride in the saddle. This was natural due to the recognition of bicycles as one of the means of transportation.

Now, however, the purpose of bicycles is not just a means of transportation, but a trend that is clearly established as one of leisure, hobbies or sports.

Therefore, in order for the bicycle to satisfy various demands for individual hobbies and to express itself as a means of expressing individuality, the structure of the bicycle also needed to have an original structure, breaking away from general stereotypes. In addition, the demand for this situation can arise.

In addition, the structure of the conventional bicycle was designed to allow the user to sit and run, and the steering wheel was further positioned below the shoulder so that the center of gravity is located below the center of gravity for stability.

As a result, many users feel bored because they are running bicycles with their shoulders shrunk in the forward direction and did not cause much interest. In addition, as a result of running with the shoulders bent and the back bent, there are not a few cases that cause pain in the lower back or shoulders.

In addition, riding a bicycle sitting in the saddle in the conventional saddle for a long time riding the parts between the legs touching the saddle to damage the urethra or in some cases can cause testicular cancer. This result is not uncommon for cyclists.

There is also a structure of riding with arms wide open, but this also basically aims to sit and run, so it is necessary to bend the waist to run upright, which imposes a burden on the waist, which is not suitable for driving upright.

In order to solve the above problems of the prior art of the present invention, an object of the present invention is an upright steering handle having a longitudinal steering handle and a transverse steering handle so that the vehicle can run by changing the posture of the arm in an up state.
