Abstract
A fast opening arrangement for shoes of bicycle brakes--of the type wherein control is obtained, by cable, through a control lever pivotally mounted on a body fixed to the bicycle handle bar--comprises a cylinder inserted across the control lever and axially moving through the same between two positions, which alternatively rest with their lateral surface against one or the other of the two sidewalls of the body on which said lever is pivotally mounted. These walls project to different extents and are cam profiled. In one of the two positions, the brake shoes are close to but spaced from the tire for normal braking; but in the other position, the shoes are spaced far enough apart to permit the wheel to be removed from between them.
