Er... No. The normal way to start up is as follows:
1) Grab the bar and put your foot on the pedal on the same side as yourself (the pedal should normally be at its bottom point)
2) Give the bike some forward momentum and simultaneously put your weight on the pedal and swing your other leg over the rear wheel, thus putting yourself in the saddle
3) Start pedaling
