Each aerobar clamping mechanism includes a tapered receiving sleeve (124, 125) having an axis that is generally parallel to a travel axis (T) of the handlebar. A collet (160, 162) having a major axis that extends in a plane generally parallel to the direction of travel (T) of the bicycle is receivable within the receiving sleeve (124, 125). The collet (160, 162) includes a plurality of axially extending slots (176) that permits the diameter of the collet to be varied. The collets (160, 162) include an aerobar receiving slot having a major axis that is generally co-linear with the axis of the collet, and is provided for receiving an aerobar (14, 16). An axial mover member can be coupled to the collet (160, 162), for axially moving the collet within the aerobar receiving sleeve (124, 125).

Abstract: A method for detennining whether a subject has knowledge of a stimulus is described. The method includes generating a sensory signal corresponding to the stimulus for receipt by the subject, and collecting a cerebral indicator signal involuntarily generated in response to the subject processing the sensory signal. Identifying whether degrees of freedom in the cerebral indicator signal of the subject either increased or decreased is also completed. It is determined whether the subject has knowledge of the stimulus depending on whether the degrees of freedom increased or decreased. In addition, the method associates knowledge of the stimulus with the subject if it is determined that the subject has knowledge of the stimulus.
