I used to roller race back in the early 80’s. No hands wasn’t a problem, and could ride standing up. Now the real wizards could ride standing up with no hands, like Bobby Phillips from Baltimore. Here’s a video of him riding. Thing is that the max gear for roller racing was a 51x14, so to go that fast your cadence needed to be up near 240.

Larry Black was another one who was a great roller rider, with a fixed gear he could actually take off a pair of tights while riding.
Nice!
And he does not appear to be a spring chicken!
Here is a younger keirin guy cranking it!

A bike shop in Chicago had belt driven roller racing platform for two, that and photos is all I’ve ever seen; looked to be fun.
No hands no problem,
out of saddle, no problem,
Out of saddle no handed!!!
OH MY!!!
I have a Realryder stationary bike, it kind of sort of steers like a road bike,almost.
For one brief second, I thought I could safely try no hands-out of saddle on it?
On second thought, I still have all of my teeth and I’m attached to them.
The thing weighs near 300 pounds and won’t tip over; perhaps with a spotter???
