Steve Roberts built a chording keyboard into the handlebars of his recumbent bike. Unclear how much writing he really got done while riding the behemoth Winnebiko II around, but it was definitely a key event that inspired me towards computing & ubiquitous computing, made me see adulting as possibly being cool.

I went looking for my copy of Computing Across America when I saw OP’s post, so I could post about it here, then I saw you beat me to it. A really nice guy, who I met when he stopped at the company I was working at, Chips and Technologies, back in the day, in San Jose. Steve if you see this, reply here and say hi to us!
