This works about 85% of the time, with the success rate being higher when I really concentrate. The trick is getting that right foot clipped in. If you don't, you either put your foot back on the ground and try again, OR, if you're good, pedal one-legged until you can clip the off-foot in.
Cool thanks. I'll give myself a few more weeks of practice then give this a shot. Again thanks to all of you for the advice, it really made it easy to pick this up.
