Hi,
Did some archive searching on this subject and came up blank.
I remember as a kid I could ride around my whole neighborhood on my Huffy without hands but I have not been able to feel like I can sit up and ride without a hand on the bar even for a short period with my current road bike, an '01 Schwinn Super Sport GLX. So I'm wondering if this is normal for most road bikes or it's just me.
I also feel like when I take a look over my shoulder that it's too easy to go off my line. I assume this all has to do with geometry, steering angle, fork trail and so on.
I'm thinking of a new bike, like a Trek 5200, and wanted to know if should expect it to be better in this respect.
Thanks.
