How do you learn to ride a bike without holding on?

Jake wins with his one hand advice. Start off learning to ride with one hand. It should be easy. Once you can do this, take the other hand off the handlebars for short periods of time. As explained by other clever people, the bike will actually try and stay upright. Only you unbalancing it will cause you to fall. Remove the one hand a tiny amount, for short periods of time, and increase as your confidence increases.

Do this loads and eventually you'll beable to ride along with your arms crossed like a pro, it's not that hard. Once you can do that you might want to try it out in a car park to learn to steer with no hands, which you can do easily enough by leaning.

If you want to try something fun, reverse your hands so your left hand is on the right handle bar, right hand on left handle bar.

If you can do this for more than 3 seconds, you win!
