Look No Hands

Riding no hands is a good way to tell if your frame is wobbly.

It’s actually easier to ride without hands if you are doing a decent speed. A bike is more stable at higher speeds than very slow speeds.

Once you’ve mastered riding with no hands try take off a waterproof jacket and put in back pocket whilst simultaneously swerving around potholes.

    For some reason I find that riding no hands on the road seems to make car drivers honk their horns, shout at me and tailgate me.

    The strange thing is, I’d be doing exactly the same speed and choosing the same course if I had my hands on the handlebards!

    This I really don’t understand!

    Also, managed to roll and light a cigarette while doing abt 15mph no-hands. Smoking kills! ;)
