Can you cycle no handed ?

[HLaB]

Prompted by another thread, can you cycle no handed ? I cant, unless on a turbo counts

Not for more than a second. Need to learn though. Shame to stop for a bite to eat from the back pocket. Very envious of those who can whip out a banana, peel it and eat it without stopping.

 

[Hip Priest]

Not for long, but I've been practising and I'm getting better. So somewhere between no and yes at the moment!

 

[Chris-H]

I can on my mtb but hav'nt got the bottle at the mo to try on the road bike.

 

[Dave 123]

As a lad I could go for ages, bends, junctions, roundabouts... never came off.
I contemplated it the other day, and that's how far it went!

 

[yello]

Yes

 

[Milemuncher]

Nuh. A big feartie.

 

[I like Skol]

Funnily enough I did a few hundred yards this afternoon, as I rode through the town centre weaving around benches, trees, lamposts and pedestrians. I've been doing non-handed since I was a kid (38yo now), just wish I had mastered the wheelie with the same success!

 

[derrick]

only if i am rolling a fag,

 

[YahudaMoon]

I could pull a wheelie all the way down my street and even go round corners pulling a fat one back in 1984 on my tracky bike.

Doubt Id try it nowadays. As for 'look no hands'. I prefer not.

 

[Willo]

Just for a little while before my clumsy balance and/or bottle goes. As per previous threads, it's mostly the latter compared to when I was young and carefree.

 

[Baggy]

Not any more - back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and I was a teenager I could.

Yep--the same here

 

[Dan B]

Within a quite narrow cadence range, yes. Any faster or slower, no.

 

[fossyant]

No, I'm rubbish at it.
