Growing up in the 1960s, we kids had bikes with banana seats and sissy bars, but the handlebars were called..?

I am pretty sure they had a particular name, like you would see on a chopper.

We called the monkey bars, which I think was just a derivative of ape hangers. Ape hangers is the motorcycle chopper term, as theirs are very high, with the hands above the head (impossible to ride like that for more then 10 minutes without the hands falling asleep). The popular term for stingrays in my neighborhood was "monkey bike" and the banana seat was called a "monkey seat" etc...

Baseball cards in the spokes...

Then there was making homemade choppers with by sawing the forks off another old bike and slip-fitting them onto the forks, and even surviving to tell the tale...

High Rise Handlebars.
This was the 1970's, and everyone was moving to the high rise apartments.

HIGHRISERS?

We called them "Ape Hangers"

Butterfly bars. I had a 26" Schwinn with them. Goose necks were used to raise them even higher.

I've heard ape hangers, monkey bars but I think they were termed "high rise bars" in Schwinn ads.
