That looks like a flying dinosaur. Birds - the dinosaurs that made it. And bats. They go back as far.
Not all dinosaurs had short arms. Everybody thinks Tranny Rex but the flyers had wingspan. I know, I am one. 6'0" with a wingspan of 6'2" (on narrow shoulders). And I ride rim brakes on all my bikes. 60% of my bikes are fix gears, I approach big hills like the early Tour de France dinos - stop and flip the rear wheel around.
We dinos have lived through eras of far more water. We know those ancient brakes, set up with the wisdom of the elders, worked just fine.
