What were they thinking? Nowt wrong with that. Fasten inner wire to handlebar( or clamp), leave outer loose. Brake by pulling on outer. Satisfies requirement to have two independant braking systems. After all,you can always use a leather glove to brake on a tyre without mudguards.

"In rec.bicycles.racing, we coach them." Biggest question is how did she get such powerful biceps and triceps, rivalling Michele Obama, and not have the quads? She's not a cyclist, 'spec not a singlist. It took me a lot of looking to think of this question!
