Primary or secondary tasks? Dual-task interference between cyclist hazard perception and cadence control using cross-modal sensory aids with rider assistance bike computers
Bike computers increase rider distraction, leaving the rider less able to process primary information. Using tactile feedback has relatively little effect on a rider's capacity to detect hazards. Audio feedback is the worst modality for the primary task. These findings can be applied to bike computer designs for delivering live information to dual-tasking bicyclists.
