For some reason, that doesn't register in my brain. I totally understand the "Going over your bars part."

You're saying, put my weight forward, and then crank down super hard with my rear pedal? Is it a natural feeling? I'm confident as hell on a bike, will it just kinda "come to me?" I can unicycle for christ's sake, but it's hard to get at the speed I think I'll be going. When I backpedal, is it a "coaster brake" feeling? It just seems like I won't be strong enough to stop the momentum with my legs. I dunno.

I have ****ty plastic toe straps on my pedals. Should I have something more sturdy? It's hard to "pull" with my feet because I ride in Birkenstocks and refuse to ride with anything different. I have some metal straps at work that I haven't put on yet, will those help?

Going to work is a downhill, I'm just sketched out.
