What a bad boy I am. The "shuffle mount" would be a hard habit for me to break after 40+ years. In my defense, I don't do it when there are cars or pedestrians nearby. But I appreciate recommending that it be done correctly.

On the other hand, while I was in college, I was home for the summer and had my old bike, a Hercules that my house mate had found in his dad's barn, and gave to me. It had a single speed Bendix coaster brake hub. My dad decided to take it for a spin, launched himself with the crank at slightly the wrong angle, which of course set the brake, and sent him flying. He was used to his three-speed.
