"I can ride my bike with no handlebars"

BANG!

I've only just started no handlebarring, after daily biking for ... ummm ... 5 years at prep school, 5 years at school, 4 years as a student, 1 year law school, 21 years in TL biking to work, and now 4 years biking to station in the country. Had a few fallow years while we rented in the country because was too far from station. So that's about 40 years of a bike as daily transport. And only in the last couple of years have I decided to try taking my hands off the handlebars!
