New Accessory

I have designed, prototyped and patented a new accessory that will be used by commuter/recreational type bicycle riders. I am looking for a commuter bicycle dealer/distributor/manufacturer that might be interested in helping me to develop and market this new device.
Any ideas?

He won't say. Just posts that and never replies, even to questions that would help people direct him to the best resources. Posted the same thing in Commuting a few weeks back.

Lazy, I guess.

Sorry for the late response, I have been very busy,
This device allows the bike rider to re-position the handlebars safely and easily while in motion. The idea has been around for years but I believe I have a unique mechanical design that is easy to use, very safe and stable, and very manufacturable. After riding with it for 2 years I have found it to relieve muscle tension, improve blood circulation in my hands and lower back and it really comes in handy when riding against a headwind.
I can mass produce it for around $50. I am an engineer with 30 years experience in manufacturing but little in marketing so I am investigating the best way to introduce it to the market place. So far I have received some good input.

I can make it in any color.....but I do prefer red!
