Post 4b - Wireless Bike Brakes

Computer scientists at Saarland University have developed a wireless bicycle brake that is 99.999999999997 percent safe.  The scientists successfully installed the brakes on a cruiser bicycle.  The bike does not have a typical brake lever on the handlebars and cable snaking down the frame.  In contrast, this bike has a rubber handle that only needs to be squeezed and some electronics mounted on the handlebar and fork.  The tighter a rider squeezes the handle, the harder the disk brake presses on the wheel to slow the bike.
