For the past couple weeks I've been pedalling everywhere in one gear to get used to doing it. The one thing i cant do is put my feet in the cages and pedal.
Practice. However, if your pedals don't have little tabs on the back to help you kick them around, it can be tough. If you just bolted clips onto old rectangular road pedals, this might well be the case. Put a little bolt in the back of the pedal so that the end sticks out and you have something that will catch on the sole of your shoe and it will be a lot easier to kick around.
