I know how to ride a bike, I learned as a kid, so I am well past the riding in parking lot phase. And I ride a pretty good amount, and ride for 20+ miles on weekends at a slow but not horrible pace. So I have a decent amount of time in the saddle. But I see other riders putting on jackets, grabbing their drinks, waving, scratching their heads, etc, while riding. And I can't even lift my hands from the bars without losing my balance. On buggy days I sure would like to swat at pesky biting flies, but I can't do that, either. Is this something others experience? I keep thinking time will take care of it, but does this mean years and years? Is there something wrong with me, or perhaps my bike doesn't fit well (it isn't a perfect fit, for which reason I definitely need a new Rivendell, but it isn't that bad, either). Anyone?
