Can you cycle no handed ?

[Joshua Plumtree]

I used to be able to as a kid...tried a couple of years ago when I first got a road bike and ended up in a ditch..it was the last time I'll try!

Did a similar thing the first time I tried TT bars. On a country lane, veered from one side of the road t'other, and then back again as I over compensated and turned the bars too violently.

Unnerving, especially when you haven't yet worked out how to move yer hands to the brakes safely!

I can do it but only at a decent speed and not to grab anything out of my back pack or anything. Its nice to be able to do it to sit up and stretch your back a bit

Yes, I can, but I don't do it on the tandem, otherwise there's this screeching noise from the back

How do you open your bananas if you can't ride no handed? No handed up a hill is a bit harder but still possible.
