Abstract
A bicycle braking system, installed on a bicycle is presented. The bicycle braking system provides improved braking for a bicycle. The system uses modified tire rims and a conventional tire, a caliper brake assembly and brake pads to provide for enhanced braking ability of the bicycle, increased life expectancy of said components, and ease of maintenance when compared to similar conventional bicycle braking systems. Other components of a standard braking system, including but not limited to brake levers and brake cables, for example Bowden cables, remain of a standard design Finally, it is noted that the system 10 would preferably be provided on all tire rims of the bicycle.
