the other day i was supposed to "take my time" while biking to a friend's place, and the first 3 miles of my ride away from home i rode with no hands. yes, i was on the sidewalk, so avoid unnecessary lane intrusion. i just kind of wanted to see how long i could do it, since i'd given my friend the idea of a "hands-less race" before.
i DID have to touch the handlebars once at a particularly nasty rain gutter, but that was it. fun stuff.
