How to Ride No Handed on a Bike


Riding without hands can be a fun and exciting thing to do, but it can also be dangerous if you don't practice and stay alert!
Try riding one-handed with each hand. You may find that one hand is easier to ride with than the other. If you practice enough it will become easier.
Once you get the hang of riding one handed, try taking your hands off of the handlebars for a few seconds at a time. Keep them close so you can grab the bars again and not fall if you get nervous.
When you're ready to give it a try, find somewhere with lots of open space that slopes downhill slightly. This will let you coast downhill and maintain your speed without pedaling.
Keep your center of gravity low. Focus your weight on the seat and pedals before taking your hands off the handlebars.
Take your hands off of the handlebars, but only lift them about one inch above the handlebars at first because then you can easily regain control of the bike by grabbing the handlebars if necessary.

Embrace Life - Always wear your Seat Belt


Embrace Life is award-winning seatbelt advocacy commercial, created by Writer/Director Daniel Cox and Producer Sarah Alexander (see Credits List for more information).
Since launch in January 2010, the advert quickly became a worldwide viral smash, gathering over 11.8million views on YouTube alone in ten months. Created to raise awareness of the importance of wearing a seatbelt, Embrace Life was deliberately developed to provide a counter-point to the hard-hitting 'shock and awe' advertising so common to road safety.
The campaign has scooped a wide range of awards, including YouTube Ad of the Year, a Prince Michael International Road Safety Award, Gold World Medal, New York International Advertising Awards; a Bronze Lion at the Cannes International Advertising Awards; Highly Commended from the Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation and the advert was also featured in the Advertising Producers Award (APA) 2010 collection.
