The other posters all have good advice. I would add that you shouldn't try to steer too much. If you really have to, make sure it is just a tiny bit. Otherwise you'll ride off the edge. Ride 'faster' than you normally would (that is, in a bigger gear/higher cadence) and try not to look down directly at the drums. Look ahead, especially when you think you're getting into trouble.

Eventually it will be as humdrum as a trainer...
it is going good. Im slowly getting the hang of them. Wall on one side and chair on the the other. I leave the chair side unclipped in case i need to put my foot down. I have fell a few times but im slowly getting it. It definaltly takes work to get the hang of these things.
