Newbie question

Back in grade school, I frequently rode my 10-speed to school with no hands... no comments about safety issues, please... I haven't had the pleasure of doing that since the mid-80s...

I've had a mountain bike since then, and there's no way I would dream of attempting to ride that thing with no hands...

Anyhoo, I'm looking to purchase a road bike to help me meet some fitness goals... and am wondering, safety issues aside, do people still ride bikes with no hands?

I have a side objective of reducing strain off a bum elbow, which is why I ask...

Thanks much!!!!!

Lance
