Hi Torben and Tobias,
Seen from the security side: the critical part of a brake is the cable,
and that is double. In this solution the socket, the pads and the brake
arms are single. But these are not really know to fail. And again, the
brake on the rear wheel is very dangerous, as locks out happen regulary
in my case - with one fall inside of a month.
AFAIK danish law is even more precise. It states that you have to have
independent brakes _and_ they should brake different wheels. Thus a rear
and a front brake. I will reconsider and put a cheapo extra brake lever
hidden under the seat to the rear just for legality sake.

I'm pretty sure that the legal demand (in denmark) for two independant
brakes are made so there's always a backup.cheers
