So are you putting pressure on your wrists with your wrists bent at an angle while typing? I think this is totally awesome in principal, but isn't that basically asking for some carpal tunnel issues?

It's kind of hard to tell from the photos and videos though which are both at weird angles.

I think with proper cycling posture you can take the pressure off of your wrists.

Use your back and shoulder muscles to support your upper body and arms, so that you can ride with elbows bent. If you can bend your elbows, you can avoid pushing on the handlebars for support. That will make for more comfortable wrists with or without a keyboard.

Maybe we need a TT bike keyboard?
