Time for someone to invent a way to open them with a switch on your handlebars

TAPE A THIRD CLASS PETTY OFFICER TO THE LOWERS AND TAP HIM ON THE HEAD. ONCE TO OPEN, TWICE CLOSE!

I always just reach down and open/close mine, but I am fairly tall.  Should be able to slide with a foot, did play lots of soccer.

You can increase the tension on the vents...just be careful not to strip out the threads.

cruise control on, reach down and open both of them, cruise control off,  sometimes i can open them with the toe of my boot...but yes it is much safer to do it when you are stopped
