ABSTRACT:
In a brake system for bicycles, a pair of operating transmission cables separately connected respectively to two brake levers are commonly connected to a connecting member carried on a body frame, for movement in a direction of cables pulled, and a pair of drive transmission cables separately connected respectively to both the brakes are commonly connected to the connecting member at its surface opposite to that at which the operating transmission cables are connected. In another aspect, a pivotally movable plate is carried on a support for swinging movement between a braking position and a non-braking position. One of drive transmission cables, which has at its one end an engaging member adapted to abut against the surface of the pivotally movable plate in the braking position and is movably passed through the pivotally movable plate, is connected at the other end thereof to one of brakes, while one of operating transmission cables which is connected at its one end to one of the brake levers is connected at the other end thereof to the engaging member. The other brake and the other brake lever are interconnected by the other drive transmission cable and the other operating transmission cable through the pivotally movable plate interposed therebetween.
