put one pair of infant Nike Jordans on it and it’ll sell like hot cakes, even if efficacy is somewhat middling.

Just put a stick in the spokes.

I had one of these on a bike in Germany in 2002 and you still see them occasionally. I think it was a common East German design for the front brake. Honestly it worked fine for the intended use of errand running around town.

Works the same way that brakes work in dreams.

Just jam your foot in there like we did when we were kids.

My grandpa had a bike like this in Romania.
The main brake was the back pedal.

Highly recommended…by tyre manufacturers.

Frequently rode bikes with this kind of brake when i was a kid in the nineties. Grew up in Germany, close to the Netherlands. These brakes were not great, not terrible.

I’m thinking this was probably used with solid tires rather than pneumatic.

Meh, it’s better than the knife or fork brake.
