The two-speed kick-back coaster brake hub allowed the rider to pedal back lightly and switch gearing from a high to a lower speed. Kick back with steady pressure and it worked like a regular coaster brake. It was a marvel of engineering and I greatly enjoyed repairing them although one of the ony things that made them malfunction was hard grease or a shot bearing. I built a two speed kickback hub into a heavy duty wheel for a 20" Schwinn Twin tandem. We rode it through town (Homewood, Illinois) on errands and could get going pretty fast.

If that guy's helmet was fastened to his chin, his head would have likely been ripped off. A helmet that big would act like an anchor. I'm sure I will enjoy his next video very much. I had to laugh when he was squeezing the hand brake. Yeah, right.
