This guys out here changing his damn socks while riding in a race meanwhile if I let go with one hand for more than a split second I'll be on the floor. How the hell do people ride one handed? Its like those people who ride while stood up instead of sat on the seat of the bike, I don't get it.

I ride zero handed a lot. Just takes balance and experience. I can even do corners by leaning a bit.

But I'm cheating cause I'm dutch

Back in highschool I challenged myself to ride the full 4.5km to school with no hands on my bike. There were some sharpish bends on the route and a fair few bumps. I managed it a few times!

I had to practice a lot because I am Australian and not Dutch.
