No doubt everyone who has gone out on a long ride has probably thought I need to shift, but something happens and you just don’t move the fingers in time. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could think about shifting and actually shift gears?
Parlee Cycles have reportedly developed a carbon fiber concept bicycle that actually uses brainwaves to do the shifting. The PXP bicycle also requires a special helmet equipped with neurotransmitters that read a rider’s brainwaves, while a wireless receiver on the seat post can receive the signals. It could open up a whole new concept – we think therefore we shift.
