Starting out. First you need to get your pedals in the same spot each time. If you start with
your left foot, you want the left pedal at 10 o-clock. If you start with your right foot, you
want your right pedal at 2 o-clock.
One foot on the ground, one on the pedal! Eyes straight ahead. Slight push down on the
foot with the pedal. Don't try to push with the foot on the ground, it will just upset your
balance. As the pedal comes up on the ground foot side, just put your foot on it and push
down. DO NOT LOOK DOWN AT THE PEDALS, you know where they are! Looking down and
going forward is bad. Your eyes use the things in front of your to reference up and down
and side to side! And a little speed and the bike is stable! More speed more stable!
DO NOT DRAG YOUR FEET, that is what brakes are for! If you are dragging your feet and
run over your heel, it will be a bad day!
