| 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.

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. |
