Can you cycle no handed ?

[biggs682]

when i was a twwnager could go for miles , but can only do it now on my togglechain Phillips bike !

 

[jayonabike]

I can, but not for long as i used to be able to as a kid.

 

[Fran143]

Nope!

 

[steve52]

[Orange]

It's not difficult.

 

[Lard Armstrong]

Yes, I can open a gel, get the gilet out and put it on, etc.

I used to ride with a guy who could do a track stand with no handed for a quite a bit. He also could ride a unicycle. Pretty cool.

 

[endoman]

Yep but not for too long, can just about put gilet on/ have a decent stretch etc

 

[Thompson]

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.

Yes I find it useful to stretch out when I have been in the saddle for a while on a longer ride.

tes , its handy for opening food wrappers changing tracks on mp

3 making roll ups







(ok i made one of those up guess which )

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.

 

[jdtate101]

yes, but only at speed (say about 18mph)...

 

[Chris S]

No - but take a look at this!

I knew a guy who only rode with one leg, but no hands, wow that's impressive
