Yikes, I hope you never snot rocket me. Riding upright with no hands is a fabulous gift to the lower back. After hunching over on an aggressive frame for 20, 40 or 60 miles, a few moments upright (on relatively flat straight ground) is heavenly. I'm not "all that", I'm merely stretching.

By the way, I believe yoga gave me the balance to do that.
