Default Riding one handed

Just curious. Any of you guys have the same bad habit as me. I occasionaly ride with only my right hand. You know, rest my left arm on my leg for a minute or so. When my wife is on the back I put my left arm on her leg. I don't do it when approaching intersections only whenthe road is wide open. But I think I probably do this at least momentarily just about every time I ride. Anyone else do this??

I do it all the time. It is almost like second nature. If I am going to be going for a few miles without stopping that's how it is. I always did this on other bikes as well. I know it's a bad habit...

Ride one handed all the time. Usually at speeds less the 70 MPH though and only if traffic allows it. Wish I had cruise control so I can rest the right hand every now and then. I will tell you that little plastic cramp buster works great though.

If I dont have cruise on, I am into the cramp buster.
Cramp busters are one of the best values for a few dollars out there.
