I've only recently started trying. I can sometimes, longest i've lasted is quite a bit over a minute. But it was a long flat road with no cars and so I just rolled away free handed. Next time I tried nearly hit a tree. Practice makes perfect though!
A lot depends on your bike's geometry, especially the front fork angles, rake, trail etc.
I can ride my current bikes no hands easily, but previous bikes were much harder.
It's easy, sit upright without leaning forward and look well ahead, not down at the front wheel. In my racing days I could remove a rain jacket, fold it and put it in my pocket. I wouldn't try that now as my bike handling isn't what it was and old bones are too brittle.
