Abstract
A quick-release device of a bicycle brake cable includes a brake arm mounted on a frame of the bicycle, a guider selectively slidably mounted on a free end of the brake arm and a safe lever pivotally mounted in the brake arm. The brake arm includes a groove defined along an axis thereof. The guider is hollow to allow the brake cable extending therethrough. The safe lever includes a pivot point that divides the safe lever into a press portion and a stop portion extending toward the guider to prevent the guider from an accidental operation due to an improper force.
