Abstract
A brake lever mechanism including a bracket having a shaft disposed in the middle portion. A brake handle has a grip and an arm joined at their proximal ends. The arm includes a lower portion engaged with the shaft and includes a groove and two recesses. One of the recesses is located closer to the shaft than the other recess such that the recess may move for a farther distance than the other recess relative to the shaft when the arm is rotated about the shaft, and such that the leverage of the brake lever can be adjusted.
