    I'm sure you'll get back there soon tjf! I never was able (it never even occurred to me) to do it as a kid, so you've already got that to draw from. The traffic thing comes the more you ride, and the only reason it occurred to me to try and ride without hands was that I noticed I really wasn't weighting them that much in between getting my water bottle and switiching positions on the bars, etc. Doing abwork helps the situation, I think my core is pretty strong, and it makes taking my hands off to move from the hoods to the drops alot easier, I can take both hands off and put them on the drops and theres a few seconds in between where I'm not touching anything. That was what really made me think, hmmm what if i just extend that couple seconds?

    p.s. RoadRaven, I definitely had that scene in mind when I came up with this thread title!

    Ssssso funny (I still don't know whether I like that movie or not - I mean, I've only seen it about 3 times!)

    Great minds think (or is that bike?) alike...
