Timeline for How might I measure the proportion of a ride spent in various hand positions, or has it been studied?

Typical case: suddenly come to a junction or busy bit of road on the drops; switch to hoods, sit up, click down through the gears while braking and checking around.Stay on the hoods for the duration of the busy bit, which could be a while. That's not when you want to be fiddling with buttons or remembering to. I thought about pressure pads under the bar tape but easily-available commercial ones are rather large | |

| May 19, 2021 at 7:18 | comment | added | Chris H | While the hoods are still the default, for long rides it's common to set the bars higher than for faster rides, and use the drops more willingly. | |
| May 19, 2021 at 7:16 | comment | added | Chris H | Some good points there. I actually have an arduino that I could hook some sensors up to if they're sensitive enough to work through bar tape and gloves, though I'd have to add storage for the data. I tend to only use the bend when I'm in the drops so 4 sensors should do. I doubt back angle would be distinctive enough especially with hills. A camera off the bike would be ideal, but on the bike might work if very wide angle and perhaps on the aero bars. With distinctively coloured gloves and jersey you could probably do it without AI | |
