Skills

Stand up out of the saddle keeping one foot on the pedal and one foot on the ground.
The foot on the pedal should be all the way down
Keep the pedal on the ball of your foot (the widest part) and always pointing forward
Hold your handle bars with your knuckles pointing down towards the ground
Look straight ahead
Using the foot on the ground push yourself forward – as if riding a scooter
Lift your other foot off the ground and position on the pedal when comfortable with the speed and your balance
Make sure both pedals are positioned on the ball of your feet near your toes
