ABSTRACT:
A rotating brake actuator for a bicycle in which a rotation of a handle grip tensions a cable connected to a friction brake of the bicycle. The actuator includes a rotatable handle assembly which may be secured to a handlebar of the bicycle by an expandable end cap. A pulley is coupled to the handle assembly and eccentrically supports an end of the cable such that a rotation of the handle grip tensions the cable to apply the brake. The actuator includes a digit operated release assembly that prevents a rotation of the handle assembly to preclude an unintentional application of the brake.
