I think this relates to if you can ride the bike without hands. Am I wrong assuming that the bike is safer in high speeds if you can ride it without hands in low speed on a level road? I’m thinking of this scenario: you ride 50 km downhill – you must take your other hand from the handle bar – the front tyre hits a small pebble.
