It can be done, but experience shows that it's very difficult to design a good
interface between the chip and the shift levers.  Also, the lack of a
barrel-shifter makes for inefficient control of headset clearance and rear
derailleur adjustment.  Otherwise, the MC68000 is a fairly good CPU for a
bicycle.
