Default Balancing


I've seen it somewhere (probably here) that a good metric for ones
balancing ability is the time one can stand on one leg with ones eyes
closed. The kids and I have often had fun trying this, and usually I
can last about ten - twenty seconds.

This evening, I found something totally unexpected. If I keep my hands
in my pockets, I can balance on one leg with my eyes closed for much
longer, about twice as long.

Why? Does this apply to anyone else? Will this help my cycling?
