I know alot of people say that its hard to get used to on your first time, but for me, it felt like any other bike. Just wear a helmet, and try to avoid quick turns at slow speed. Also try to avoid staying so close to the sidewalk because if your pedal hits the curbs, you will probably get thrown off the bike.

Just to be on the safe side, just ride on residential road without many cars for few thousand feets so you get the hang of it.
