One-Handed Bike Breaks

Duplex Lever Helps Cyclists Stop Effortlessly

— August 15, 2011 — Autos
Whether it's an injury or a disability, some people rely dominantly on one-hand which can be a problem when it comes to cycling, however, the Duplex Lever is here to make things a little easier.

The Duplex Lever is a convenient item that will allow the user to stop the bike with one hand. It was originally designed for bike polo players, but now it's being made available for everyone. The accessory is basically a single break lever that has two cable inputs that pulls two breaks simultaneously. According to the company's website, the barrel adjusters allow the users to "fine-tune how the brakes engage." Suppose you've injured the left or the right hand, no worries because the Duplex Lever was symmetrically built so that people can use it on either side of the handle.
Trend Themes
1. One-handed Cycling - Development of products that cater to cyclists who rely dominantly on one hand presents innovative opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs to create more inclusive cycling experiences.
2. Single Lever Accessories - The market for single lever accessories for bikes is growing, creating opportunities for companies to create products that cater to the specific needs of different users, including those with disabilities or injuries.
3. Adaptive Sports Equipment - Innovative companies in the adaptive sports equipment industry can create products that cater to cyclists with disabilities or injuries, thus promoting inclusion and accessibility in the industry.
Industry Implications
1. Bicycle Industry - Companies in the bicycle industry can incorporate the use of the Duplex Lever or develop similar products to cater to cyclists with disabilities or injuries, creating a more inclusive experience for all.
2. Disability Equipment Industry - Companies in the disability equipment industry can collaborate with the bicycle industry to create more adaptive sports equipment that caters to cyclists with disabilities.
3. Sports & Recreation Industry - The sports and recreation industry can promote adaptive sports and recreational activities, including cycling, by creating inclusive environments and developing specialized equipment to make these activities more accessible to everyone.
