Thank you for two Brake Director™s. David Hawkins installed one on my hybrid and one on my road bike in March 2005. I asked him for the dual braking system so I could operate the Brake Director™ with either hand or both. I've been riding with them for seven months, and they both work great.
A fall in February broke my left hand and dislocated the fingers. While the hand was in a cast, I spotted Brake Director™ at the 2005 Seattle Bike Expo. The left hand is still recovering, and Brake Director™ prevented the risk of braking unevenly. Braking with the right hand without worrying about even distribution to both wheels has assured me of smooth stops. This is especially effective on steep hills; and, I can selectively brake with the left hand to strengthen it.
June was a good test for the hybrid. My wife and I road over Snoqualmie Pass to Cle Elum on the John Wayne Trail. Brake Director™ operated smoothly on rocky terrain.

Thank you for the Brake Director™ that you recently installed on my bike at the BI Cycle shop. I'm so excited to be able to ride and stop with newfound confidence. Your invention is fantastic and I'm thrilled with the application to my bike. It works great and the bike looks normal. :0)

I plan to keep in touch with you as I gain more experience on the bike. Right now, learning how to do the foot clips is my biggest challenge.
 

I'm totally blown away by how simple (Brake Director™) is to use and how well it works. At first it seemed weird only having to use one hand to stop.

I found myself reaching for the other brake lever even though it wasn't there. Concern for safety has quickly dissipated as Brake Director™ works better than I ever imagined. Magnolia, the community where I live, has many steep hills and I find that I can stop my bike more quickly and efficiently with the predetermined front to back braking force ratio of Brake Director™.

I'm excited about the future for Brake Director™. I understand it was conceived as an aid for riders with certain physical impairments but think it's an idea whose time has come for most everyone. I can foresee a time when Brake Director™ will come standard on all bikes. Without hesitation, I will recommend Brake Director™ to all my friends."
