Abstract: A dual bicycle braking system for applying greater braking force to the front wheel of a bicycle than to the back wheel, the system having front and rear brakes controlled by front and rear hand brake levers, the rear lever operationally secured to a singular rear caliper break, the front brake lever operationally secured to a primary cable, which in turn is secured to first and second actuating cables, the first actuating cable operates a first caliper brake and the second actuating cable operates a second caliper brake, both of which engage the front wheel of the bicycle to apply greater braking force to the front wheel than is applied to rear wheel by the rear caliper brake, the first actuating cable may be shorter than the second actuating cable so that the first caliper brake engages the front wheel before the second caliper brake does to provide graduated de-acceleration, or alternatively, the tension in first caliper brake may be less than in the second caliper brake to insure the same result.

Abstract: A gas powered fishing pole having a conventional reel and rod and a gas powered projection device having a firing chamber with an external end from which a projectile with a hook or lure attached is fired. The improvement comprising a gas projection device that is no more than one half the length of the fishing rod, yet in which the gas charge is generated by manual operation of a lever actuated piston mechanism and wherein the projection device is secured to a fishing rod by a plurality of attachment means, but in which no more than one such means is attached in proximity to the external end of the firing chamber.
