It's amazing, isn't it? I'm not sure where you bike, but even here in Portland, I find myself getting into that "push" mindset, gotta get where I'm going, no time to waste, and it's silly because my commute is all of four miles.

So the last couple of days, since seeing the picture, I've been doing the "look, Ma! No hands!" thing (on quiet side streets only)--trying to loosen up while at the same time trying to stay on a very straight trajectory. It's surprising how well those two things go together!
