radio-controlled gearshift for internally-geared bicycle hub

The shifter sends a radio signal to a servo located near the hub. The servo adjusts a very short length of cable to change gears. Why? For fun. There would be a weight penalty, weatherproofing issues, and fabrication, or at least custom building. I see no practical application, and I doubt this sort of thing would sell. I just think radio shifting would be cool. Maybe this could be patented, if it isn't already. (Again, just for fun -- offhand, I don't see it as profitable.)

I need assistance from a bicycle nerd and an engineer. Hey, I know at least one person who's both.

Somebody call The Jesus Lizard.

Hey, my dad was telling me about this guy the other day.

He's caused quite a stir. Some follow him around tearing bibles apart ("Who needs this nonsense, when we've got Jesus?"). Others call him an Anti-Christ. I think most people consider him an amusing crazyhead.
