Hermes, thanks for the reminder on the chin to the shoulder. Given that I'm forgetful about such things, I had gotten out of the habit. It does work.
I ride no hands to stretch to give the derriere a little different point of view and to stretch out the arms like wings for a few moments. Also will ride no hands to get a big slug of gatorade from the bike bottle, especially to empty it completely.
