The cycling headset at the Embarcadero Y is damaged, so Ray sent out an email to give us ideas on how to use hand signals to indicate what we wanted participants to do. I think it's a great idea and will incorporate it in my next class even if the mic is in perfect working condition in case people have trouble hearing me. I like cycling music to be on the loud side! Here are some suggested hand signals including my modifications:
- Get people's attention: Double-clap
- Gear up: Point finger in the air and pretend you're drawing a circle on the ceiling with your fingertip while moving your hand upwards
- Gear down: Point finger towards the ground and pretend you're drawing a circle on the floor with your fingertip while moving your hand downwards
- Increase pace: Thrumbs up
- Decrease pace: Thumbs down
- Stand: Lift flat hand up
- Sit: Lower hand down
For resistance moves, I would also indicate with my fingers what level of resistance (between 1-10) at which you'd like participants to end up.
