Now that is weird. Thanks to two engineers and a Dremel Moto-Tool, I
have child-size brake levers on my bike, and I can put six fingers on
the lever. (Not while riding, of course.)

How things can change in only thirty or forty years.

The above message is a Usenet post.
I don't recall having given anyone permission to use it on a Web site.

Because brakes/cables and housing got so much better that only two fingers are needed to apply enough pressure on the pads to get you over the bars.

Technology is marching ever onward. Some day, we'll just have to THINK
the word "brake" and we'll go over the bars.

Won't that be wonderful!
