I looked at some of your other posts on this tangent, and noted there that
you insisted on coasting while doing this. Can't say I've tried that, but
I have taken my hands off the bars (from the drops as well as the tops)
while climbing -- no particular reason, just fooling around. In order to
stay in that position I seem to pedal harder, so I guess I am pushing my
upper body up with my legs.
