How do you guys eat while riding? I can't get things out of my seat pack while riding?
I hold on and move my hands around but I don't think I white knuckle my bars. I have a water bottle on my bars and down below that I reach for and drink from, but like I said, I cannot do much more than that.
Wish I had the balance.
I am just like you Donna, except even as a kid I could not ride with no hands. I didn't come from a very athletic family and to this day the only way my father can swim is by doing the doggie paddle, lol.

The one thing that is very bothersome for me is, I cannot make signals with my left hand because my right arm is not stable enough to control the handlebar. I am a right handed person. I cannot remember if this was a problem before I fractured my shoulder. Like Veronica has mentioned in other areas, maybe I should keep practicing.
