I'm working on the no-hands thing... just playing around. It really depends (for me) how my saddle's tipped. I think it might be somewhat easier for men because men are generally more comfortable with saddle tipped upward. I like saddle tipped down, but when I'm going hands-free, I feel like I slide forward on the saddle.
I rode no-handed all the time growing up but almost went down the first time I tried it on my road bike. When I sit up and unweight the front wheel the handling and control fall apart. I will probably try it again now that I'm much more used to this bike.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
