Not on my bike, not all bikes or riders can ride hands free. I have several bikes that cannot be ridden hands free due to the geometry. I also have an older slack angle road bike that I can ride hands free for miles. My brother can't ride anything hands free, he loses his balance, I have actually seen him fall off of a stationary exercise bike His normal "bike" is a recumbent trike.
