Riding no hands. Who does it and why?

[shootingstar]

I never have been able to ride hands free, although I haven't ever been interested enough to try to work out how to do it.
Of course I can do it on the tandem, but that doesn't really count.

I don't see young girls when they bike, do no handlebar hold either. I think part of this is a risk thing /difference....what we're willing to try when we were younger.

I can hang on well, when I'm holding on handlebar with right hand, but I'm not good the other way. So I'm even more limited.

Oh well.
