A "shift" in Technology



As a general rule I like what technology brings but I happen to think this is a step in the wrong direction. I'm not feeling the Force with me on this one. I know it's just a concept project but I ride to exercise. If I need to exercise my mind, mind control is not how I'd do it

I think not. One of the things I like about cycling is being able to disconnect from the high tech world.

Me too. Perhaps I am getting to be old and cranky, but no electronic shifting of any type for me.

Not sure about mind shifting, but I'm very interested in Shimano's Ultegra Di2 shifting...
