Still haven't figured out how to adapt such a system to the bicycle without excess weight or feedback.
Not sure about where you are but here in rural Nevada, there are huge swaths of land that are truly "open range". Earlier this year, my mom and I did a graduation tour through the southern part of Nevada. Just outside of Rachel, Nevada ("The Extraterrestrial Highway"), there were miles upon miles of road with cattle almost within arm's distance of the shoulder. Fortunately, we didn't see any cattle actually on the roadway, but with a ton of skittish pot roast just moseying around, it kept us on our toes.
