WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY --- WIRELESS BICYCLE BRAKES
A wireless braking system, would you trust
it? Now what if
the system was designed by German computer scientists and tested with equipment
used in control systems for aircraft and chemical factories; and it worked with
99.999999999997 per cent reliability.
That's exactly what a group at Saarland
University demonstrated
with a wireless brake installed on a cruiser bicycle.
The bike does away with a brake lever on the handlebars and cable
snaking down the frame, and instead has a rubber handle that only needs to be
squeezed and some electronics mounted on the handlebar and fork, the part which
attaches the wheel to the frame. The tighter a rider squeezes the handle, the
harder the disk brake presses on the wheel to slow the bike.
