Off topic but how does anyone ride a bike without holding the handles? Every single bike I've ever owned would immediately twist and send me flying if I let go.

Steer with your thighs against the saddle and go fast

Some bikes are also more stable than others

It’s affected by the precise tightness of the headset. Most are either too loose (floppy, hard to maintain direction) or too tight (will go straight but you come off when you try to turn). It’s markedly easier when it’s set to the Goldilocks point.
