Default bike handlebar controls

has anybody ever heard of or thought of putting radio transmitter controls on bicycle handlebars ?

throttle on left, steering on right.

wouldn't it be a hoot to chase your yeti down your favorite single track ?

then if a couple of people got them there could be races, or is this recipe for disaster ?

Bad idea. Really bad idea. One or the other since they both require so much concentration. I can see it now, rc cars in ditches and broken bones.

Keep the 2 things you like to do seperate... My BBQ on the back of my motorcycle was a real disaster... Delicious, but very painful in the end.

now that you mention it, it was about 4:20 pm, after my bike ride that I thought of that.

Seriously. This is the only answer unless you have an unusual brain. Even still, disaster is likely inevitable.

Fun to considee regardless...

I've done the no-handed way myself once. I was biking home in the pouring rain, and didn't want to lug around my 1/8 buggy. It went pretty well (I only drove over it once, it was fine haha), and I even had a couple of cops ask if I'd mind showing them how fast it was .


Not something I'd do on a regular basis tho, and handlebar controls would undoubtably end badly.
