Very Important: If you don't get a good starting push that really get the wheels rolling, the human instinct is to put a foot down to stabilize you. MAKE that starting push HAPPEN! If you try to dab from a 'bent, you will turn your foot around backwards. I've seen it happen twice, terrible, just terrible damage to tendons and ligaments and muscles.

Set the crank of your chocolate foot (the one you prefer) at the top and ask for a good push off from someone to get started, no shame, you'll get it down as you go. Make sure you're in a middle low gear. Push hard and then crank furiously, all while willing yourself upright and as balanced as possible.

After that, if you're gonna fall over, just take it on the shoulder. DO NOT try to save yourself with your foot!!
