Vicious cycle

You know, one thing I can't do is ride a bike in the cool no-hands way that people do. Which is a shame, because one of my secret ambitions is to learn to ride a unicycle, and ride it to work on a daily basis. It'll look really groovy. But I'm pretty sure a first step to that would be riding a bicycle without holding the handlebars, and I'm sort of scared to try that...
