What to call bike brake levers with two gripping points? I have a Schwinn Letour bike which has brake handles that can be gripped from two different points, but the whole brake handle is a singly body of metal, as can be seen here:



I am wondering what this kind of brake handles are called?
I was hesitating to flag this post as a duplicate of Why don&#39;t brakes come with &#39;Safety Levers&#39; any more?, but the other post is rich in the names of those "dual-pull" brake levers which in fact answers the OP's question.

So the names are:


Dual pull
Safety Levers (manufacturer's term)
Extension Levers (Sheldon Brown)
Suicide levers (wikipedia)
Auxiliary levers (wikipedia)
Interrupter levers - these are the additional brake levers placed along the brake cable. Although their position is similar to those mentioned above, they operation (and effectiveness) is different.


I hope this gives the OP enough possibilities to chose from.
