Why would you want to ride "no hands?"

I think it's each to her own on this one. After having broken my clavical and my radius (separate times, thank goodoness), I play it safe in the saddle, since I'm loathe to lose any riding time due to a broken bone or other injury. That's just me.

I know that some folks feel very comfortable going hands free. I'm amazed at Veronica's ability to remove a bolero while riding, as I have problems taking mine off when I'm standing on solid ground. LOL. I cast no aspersions on those who can do it safely and with confidence. I don't like riding near them, but that's due to my own fear of a potential wipeout.
