Riding one-handed

Start off by getting them to ride with their hands on the tops. Then get them to take one hand off the bar in the straights. Then the other hand. Then take the hand off the bar through the turns. Then the other hand. Then do laps with the hand off the bar. Work up to doing laps with the hand behind your back. Next, have people move their hands to the drops. Then move back them back to the tops. Then back to the drops. Then do laps alternating their hand positions: left to the top, then right to the top, then left to the drop, then right to the drop and repeat. Finally, with their hands on the drops, have them drop one hand down beside their heel in the straights. Then the other hand. Then first one hand and then the other through the turns. Work up to doing laps with one hand behind the back and the other on the drops. Instructions: “hands on the tops,” “hands on the drops,” “left hand off the bars,” etc.
