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.
