Those are lovely. I've seen pics but never spotted one in the wild.

I have never seen one but an old time racer described a brake that was used on track bikes when ridden on the road. He described a lever like device that you activated by scooting back in the saddle... pushing your butt back against the lever. On the other end of the lever was a spoon shaped pad that pressed on the top of the tire.
