About this listen

 Summary: - The episode “One Hand on the Bike: Balance in Motion” presents balance as a dynamic, whole-body skill crucial for confidence and control on two wheels. - It explains that the center of gravity shifts with turns and bumps, and small body adjustments translate to the handlebars. Eye–ear–back coordination and a far-ahead gaze help maintain stability. - Four progressive exercises are outlined to practice with one hand off the bar: 1) at rest beside the bike with one hand on the bar, focusing on breathing and looking ahead; 2) rolling slowly with one loose hand while keeping eyes fixed on a far point; 3) gentle hand swap while maintaining a straight line and torso stability; 4) light counter-impulse by rotating the torso and returning the hand if the bike drifts. - Mid-episode prompts invite reflection on pavement type, solo vs. with others, and comfortable progress pace. - Key improvement tips include: strengthening the core (8–12 minutes of planks, bridges, back activation), looking far ahead, rhythm and breathing, safety gear and low-speed practice, and deliberate, patient progression. - Additional notes emphasize that balance is learned gradually, can transfer from stationary to moving bikes, and that the goal is safety and confidence without sacrificing flow. - The episode closes with encouragement to subscribe and share.
