// Can I just let go of the handle?

Yes, you can actually just let go! 

As long as the kid is on the bike holding on to the bars you just let go and the rope spools quickly into the reel! We have used this with our kids for months now and have never tangled the rope into the wheel!

But we do recommend leading the handle 50% of the rope length before releasing.
