can ride with no hands, but they almost never do. The only time I have both hands off the bars is when I'm taking clothing on or off, and only on a straight road at moderate speed.
When I see a person riding along with no hands for no apparent reason, I assume he (and it's always a "he") is a clueless noob, and I give him a wide berth.
