Never thought about braking, unless they carried an anchor in the cradle and dropped it for a very sudden stop they must had used some kind of hub or rim brake.
The best thing about this is that whenever you applied the brakes the cradle would rotate backwards to take away some of the wheels momentum. Locking the brakes would mean the cradle would be locked to the wheel for a 'washing machine' experience, the original fixie?
On a technical mountain descent in a race of these machines a skilled descender would use just enough brake to get the cradle to 90 degrees for optimal deceleration, bringing thier bodies parallel to the road.
That image is from 1835 BTW, 19th century bikes thread?
