I had previously tried to ride various recumbents hands free with no luck. Then I started mountain bike riding on a recumbent. On the way home from mountain biking, I took my hands off the handlebars (USS) and found that I could ride hands free. Then I found that I could do it on other recumbents (not just that one) including a tandem recumbent.

Balance and unconcious micro adjustment is the skill required. I picked this up learning to MTB on a recumbent and it transferred to superior balance skill on the road. I can also now almost track stand my recumbent at lights and have no problem riding at very low speed (sub walking pace – 2 km/hr).
