Despite what we know about Old Man Petersen's view of disc brakes, the "belt AND suspenders" braking system that XJD describes does have a certain practicality to it if you ignore the fact that you'd need 4 brake levers:
"🛠️ Braking System Safety is paramount when it comes to cycling, and the Rivendell Roadeo bike does not compromise in this area. It features a dual braking system that includes both disc and rim brakes. This combination ensures optimal stopping power in various weather conditions, providing riders with confidence and control." Pretty rad stuff!
