ABSTRACT:
A removable brake locking device for a hand-operated brake lever on a bicycle in its brake actuating position is provided and can be used with only one hand. The device is an nonextendible strap having a loop arranged and configured to be disposed around a handlebar to which the brake lever is attached. File strap has a linear free end extending from the loop which is then snugly pulled over the lever and attached to the loop to cause or to retain the brake lever in a closed or actuated configuration. The bicycle wheel couple to the corresponding brake is locked and the bicycle can be leaned against a vertical support without the likelihood of its turning and falling.
