About Us

David Krafchick and David Hawkins have been working together since 1988. Since that time, they have been working together to refine and perfect the one-hand power braking system.

David Krafchick consults through his company, Nimbleland, with many different organizations including Washington State Arts Commission, Apple Computer and Comcast. As co-inventor of Brake Director™, funding the entire development over 15 years, he has personally tested and analyzed every prototype. The creation of Brake Director™ started when he realized there was no solution in the bicycle market that addressed his disability. Brake Director™ represents a commitment to bring a solution to people who desire to use a bicycle, even with limitations.
