Single lever for two brakes. Requires careful adjustment to balance brake forces correctly between both wheels.

Or... it could be used on a gyro for a flatland bike. I know most of them have splitters on the cable (so standard brake cables can be used), but this would make the cable runs a little smoother.

The brake lever is too short for that. An adaptive lever would be gripped with the whole hand- that lever might fit two fingers if they were skinny.
