Hey all. I have a random question for those of you who trail bike or mountain bike on your bicycle. When you're off-roading, does the 'loose on the bars' rule apply on mountain bikes as it does when you're on a motorcycle? For example, obviously keeping as loose as possible on the bars riding the Ninja on, let's say, gravel for instance is best practice. What about going up and down bumpy, rocky hills on a bicycle? Is it better to stay loose or to hold on for dear life so as not to get bucked? :-)
