I was thinking about Dutchy's nohands riding thread while sitting on
the rollers being bored this morning. Up till now I could
ride briefly no hands but holding onto counter next to me for support
(and only for brief periods at that). So today I let go.
Rode about 1/2 hour without holding bars, at least half of that
without holding on to anything.
the secret? I haven't got a clue, I just did it, just sat up dropped
my arms by my side and continued pedaling.

I am so chuffed.

Chuffed? Geez, I haven't heard that expression used since the last time I was in England in '79!

and you'll be well on the way to practicing calling an ambulance after spilling hot coffee over yourself.

But then you can sue the place that you got the coffee at and you'll be RICH.

What if it's homemade? Can't sue yourself can you? (Well, you probably can these days :) )

Well then, you can sue Kreitler for manufacturing a dangerous training apparatus.
