Great idea! And well executed, too. We're you nervous about dropping your camera?

Cool shot! I'll bet that would get tiring (parden the pun) if you had to take a bunch of test shots! :)

Great shot! How you managed to not have obscene camera shake while maintaing forward motion is beyond me and/or my lenses. Nice.

I'd never ride a bike with no hands if I had my camera with me. I'd be to afraid of wiping out and smashing my camera. lol Great original idea for this challenge.

Clever idea, it works well. Might be over sharpened a little, as I think that may be what has caused the halo around the handlebars, which I do not like, but overall still a great shot.
