I can do #3 as well as take a jacket/vest/gloves on and off while riding and eat/drink, but that’s the best I can do. Sigh. I have to face it, I will never be a real cyclist.
This list is like one of those videos GCM puts out - "The Four Things Beginning Cyclists Must Learn".
But of course, those are all parlor tricks that don't have much to do with cycling. Well, maybe riding no hands is a useful skill, though generally I prefer to just stop and take the jacket off, since I ride alone. Then again if I rode in a group, I wouldn't try to take a jacket off while riding no hands either.
