Brifters. We all know the meaning. Now, we just got to get the Webster dictionary to acknowledge the word.

EDIT:
Got bored and submitted the term "brifter" to Marriam-Webster dictionary for review/consideration

Brifter
a bicycle handlebar mounted system used specifically on road bicycles that combines the action for both slowing the bicycle and shifting a gear derailleur through levers built into a single device.
Plural: Brifters
Brifters - a set of a left hand and a right hand brifter used for both controlling the front and rear derailleurs and the front and rear brakes
