    Speaking of Moose Mitts, has anyone ever tried to use flat bar Moose Mitts on a bikeshare bike? Someone brought that thought up earlier today. They were actually talking about bar mitts, but I don’t think those would fit.

    I haven’t tried that, but literally as you were posting this I was in the basement trying to get my drop bar Moose Mitts to fit on the fixed gear, and I think they’ll be okay. I would bet the flat bar version would be just fine on CaBi.

    If not, as i mentioned in another thread, I just bought a sewing machine and homemade Moose Mitts are on my list. If the real version doesn’t fit on CaBi, mine might.

    You have a few hours to convince jrenault to bike his sewing machine to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/balaclavas-and-baklava-make-your-own-winter-bike-accessory-workshop-tickets-14480229757 …

    Not moosekeit, but my BikeMitts® keep trying to take revenge on me for some unknown insult: Every time I stupidly pull my hand out to signal a turn, the empty one goes floppy and blocks my subsequent grab for the bar and the brake. Sheer panic ensues, fortunately without serious consequences so far, but also without detectable learning.

    I think I see the problem—you shifty people are too reliant on bar-mounted brakes.

    Maybe this will be commonly available and adapted for brakes at some point. Though I think other solutions would be much cheaper and easier, like other gloves, fixies, or rule #5.

    From here, and the bulk of the article is about thought-controlled braking in cars.

    Shifting Gears With Your Head

    It has become commonplace enough that Toyota could back an experiment by a Pennsylvania firm called Deeplocal, which is working on a bicycle that can shift gears based on EEG signals received through the cyclist’s helmet.

    “I’m not the best at shifting,” said senior engineer Patrick Miller. “You have to train. I almost had to envision myself using a muscle that I don’t have. But once I got it, it’s not too bad.”

    The helmet, said Miller, “is off-the shelf. You could probably get one on Amazon.”

    From my limited experience with brain-computer interfaces, I’m not sure I’d trust one with my brakes quite yet. Derailleur, why not?

    These discussion always remind of the dirty Chris Rock joke about the man buying a Cadillac.
