Ride a bike only using the pedals Is it possible to ride a bike standing? I mean properly standing, not sitting up straight. Your feet are on the pedals but you do not touch any other part of the bike. If not, is it possible to roll/steer while standing?

For maximal clarity I added this handcraftet picture. You may only have contact with the blue parts, and especially not with the red parts:
I have seen that done with monocycles, but I am afraid that doing it with a bicycle is going to be more difficult if not impossible.

The reason I think so is that when you stand up and pedal you are also unbalancing your bike right and left. If you do it while holding the bar, you can compensate it in a certain way. (think cyclist standing while going uphill or sprinting, see how most of the cyclists in this picture are standing and their bike is tilted)



If you are not holding the bar, your bike will start zig-zagging and the only way to control it would be using your hips. But that can happen if you sit and can transfer your hips movement to the frame via the saddle.
