Cycling no handed

[steveindenmark]

I used to be able to ride no handed but got out of practice. (a lay off of about 35 years). I cannot ride my TREK road bike, my Kickbike or my Bacchetta without hands but my ICE Trike was a doddle.

Now I am over 50 I prefer to keep my handsome good looks as long as possible and so I keep my hands on the handlebars now.

It depends on your wheelbase and fork rake. I can do it easily on the Tricross, which is a slow-steering bike but it's much harder on the Roubaix, which is more twitchy. Hats off to the racers on their super-twitchy speed machines though.

Can do it on my hybrid but I still find my road bike tok twitchy. I've only just reached the stage where I can reach down for my bottle, or to loosen the velcro straps on my shoes without wobbling into the scenery.

its easy enough to do all you need to remember is that speed is the key ( well for me anyway ) i find the faster ime going within reason the easy'r it is to let go
