born in the 50s, raised in the 60s & 70s we never had gear indicators, so I never look at those anyway. plus riding at night they're invisible. I do occasionally glance at my front or rear gears to double check where I think I am. the mitts don't interfere w that. coming up to road crossings or stop lights etc I try to plan ahead so I'm prepared to either keep going or stop altogether. I only use 1/2 clips aka mini clips. try not looking at your gear indicators, you probably don't need them
