You persistantly claim that cyclists with dropped bars don't look
at the road ahead. With both hands off he must have been upright
with eyes in the optimal position. Perhaps he had noticed your
expertise in cycling matters and was following your guidance.

"Look, ma... no hands!".
It's what you sometimes see children do, isn't it?

Yes. Children also fall over the first time they try to walk. Despite
going on to develop the technique they are still bound to fall over
several times during their life. Best not to start, heh?

Is he still only learning to ride the bike and hadn't discovered that
it's safer to be in control?

Who'd a thought it?

It's probably best to have learned, by the time you're a teenager, not
to do silly things like riding a push bike with no hands on the handlebars.

You probably don't agree.

I guess that by the time you were two you had scraped your knees enough
times that you decided not to bother any more?

What's the betting it was the wall's fault?

You aren't giving any odds on that?

Definitely somewhere between 0% and 100%.

Perhaps those French walls can be very perfidious.
