Riding no hands. Who does it and why?

[zoom-zoom]

I'm even better at side planks and bridges than front plank.

Me too. I do front and sides one day and bridges the next -- alternating days. And I don't have anything extra on the front end of my bike, aside from a little bento box. Huh...?

I tried it yesterday, in the parking lot of the community center...only a few seconds, but better than I have done before. Keeping up a certain speed seems to be key. I do have a handlebar bag that I carry repair kit etc. in so that probably isn't making it any easier, but when I was using a rack bag it was a PITA when I needed to attach panniers. Might be interesting to try with it off and see how much easier it is.

Jolt, I find that keeping up a certain effort is more important than speed. Pushing harder on the pedals engages me more with the bike. I can coast no hands too, but spin-pedalling is the hardest as there's a lot of movement but little "push".
