Subject: cycling and sense of balance
On my ride this morning I realized that I now have a "sense of balance"
again, like I had when I was a child. I can now ride "no hands" as in
when raising arms above the head when crossing the finish line. The last
time I attempted that type of action I definitely had a bit of a
problem. And whats really funny is I never really realized that I had a
balance problem.

Maybe not so much of a balance problem as a relaxation problem. That
is, it's hard to ride no-handed and perform other maneuvers on a bike
if you're not relaxed.
