Oh sorry! Well basically I like cruising "no handers" without your hands being on the handlebars..Yes it is dangerous if you don't know what your doing,that is another reason i need a more comfortable bike!I have been riding MTB quite awhile with thousands of miles into my few bikes an with the experience it makes me feel freeAron,
I missed something in your post! " Hit a 2 ft pothole cruising no hands"
What do you mean?
Sometimes it will stick other times I can't get it to.Although I'm thinking of making some type of cruise control into the throttle handle!I like to cruise from 25-29, do most of my riding out in the country.
Riding no handed is no big deal, used to go for miles when I was a kid on my 10 speed. For some reason it's not as easy as an adult on a MTB, don't know why.
Don't know how you'd ride no handed on a MB unless you have a sticky throttle.
It's the same situation here in Gainesville.....some roads have great bike lanes where I just blaze as fast as I can.....you come up on an intersection and turn right....no bike lane at all just the damn curb.. ( ever hit a curb doing 30? )...also there's lots of country roads around here with bike lanes and some not.....catch-22 aint it ya'll ?depends on traffic, and the road conditions. there's a lot of smooth, wide bike lanes around here, so i'm usually all the way on the gas. it's like i'm trying to kill my motor on purpose, to see what kind of abuse it'll take. i ride 30 to 50 miles almost everyday, and there's times when i'll be on a 10-15 mile stretch at full throttle, around 35 mph. the thing just won't die.
but when i'm forced to ride the gutter on the side of the road, i keep it around 15, i guess.
