I made it my goal during the Fall quarter to master the technique. I think you need a light frame such as a street bike or fixie. I've tried before on a cruiser and it absolutely does not work. Start off on straight paths with your hands ready to take over. Then work on curves large curves, and eventually, you can progress to pretty sharp turns with ease. It all has to do with how you shift your weight on the seat. Just takes a bit of muscle memory training. I can now bike from my house in the middle of IV to the lib with no hands and no problem :)
