What does go over the handle-bars mean?
"He had a broken collar-bone. He went over the handle-bars of his Raleigh Chopper like every other boy that age".
Does it mean "He hold the handle (steering?) at full lock"? I'm particularly confused with "went over" part.
Thank you in advance.

The handle bars are the front part of a bike used for steering, or handling, the bike. The part you put your hands on. If he went over them, it means he had an accident and physically flipped over the front of his bike.
