How do you learn to ride a bike without holding on?
I ride a couple of times a week but I always have to hold on to the handlebars.
How do I learn to let go?

Re: How do you learn to ride a bike without holding on?
also, you want your weight to be further back than normal when you take your hands off. practice riding with your weight shifted back (centered over the saddle) and steer with 1 or 2 fingers only.
then let go. bk
