_____ while riding is hard

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Juggling may be problematic as well.

Ooh! Ooh! I know! Here's one that should be high on the difficulty list! Driving a car!
Juggling isn't really very hard on a bike. It's a bit tougher on a unicycle or slackline.
