You should really try to master turning slowly in as tight a curve as possible quite a few times, this gets you ready for the real world of poor directions and detours. If you find yourself wobbling or jerking the handlebars around, you are probably too tense. Relax, let your hands grasp the bars in a light but firm manner. Let your shoulders droop, relax your neck, don’t “deathclench” your teeth. Once you relax you will have more control over the bike. Next, you should practice using the brakes. Stop and take off a few times, getting a feel for how much pressure on the lever it takes to slow down or stop the bike. Remember to always use both brakes together, with gentle pressure at first to stop the bike smoothly. Drop both your feet to the pavement while giving the brakes the final squeeze to stop the bike. Lean forward a bit and stand up, while reaching behind you for the seat frame to steady the bike. Practice stopping and dismounting, then starting off again. You should also practice stopping by dropping only one leg, typically your non-dominant leg. This exercise will help you deal with momentary stops, such as at stop signs and traffic lights. It does take a little practice to balance the bike leaning onto a single leg. Remember to keep one hand clamped on a brake to prevent the bike from rolling, it really helps. I usually immediately cock my “crank-bound” leg for the start, and then hold pressure against the brake until I’m ready to go. You should also carefully investigate what happens to the bike with gradually increasing brake lever pressure, so you will be comfortable with quick decisions on the road.

Notice how the seat cradles you, and how comfortably close to the ground you are. Grasp the handlebars and rock the front wheel from side to side. Squeeze the brake levers. Yodel a few times. Do whatever it takes to relax. Many first time riders try to sit forward on the seat, not being used to the relaxed, laid back position. Sit back! Enjoy the comfort! Now pick a dominant leg. For most people this is your right leg, but go with whatever is most comfortable for you. Pick your leg up and swing the crank arm around so you can easily reach the pedal. If you are using toe straps, flip the pedal clip over your foot, but keep the strap nice and loose to start with. Swing the crank around until your foot is in a “cocked” position; somewhere close to the top of the pedal stroke. This spot is different for everyone, the key is to find the spot where you feel best about putting a lot of power into the pedal. It helps to hold the bike from rolling with either brake. When you’re ready, release the brake, and push forward firmly on the pedal. As you start moving, lift your other foot up and keep peddling. At first you probably will wobble a little, but don’t panic and tense up! Just relax and concentrate on making small corrections with the handlebars. The most common beginners' error is to overcontrol the bike, ending up steering a set of “S” curves down the lane. If you relax and let your hands sit lightly on the handlebars, you will find it easier to avoid this syndrome. Lean back! You are probably trying to lean forward, to mimic that "other" type bike you've been riding. Another common first time mistake is to stare at your feet — after all, you’ve never seen them before! Look ahead, see the scenery you’ve been missing. Once you’re riding smoothly in a straight line, it’s time to practice looking around. Now don’t laugh, I’m not being funny nor condescending. Compared to a traditional bike you will find yourself looking at the world from a whole new perspective, a comfortable one. The biggest problem you will face is keeping your mind on the road. Since you are riding in a relaxing reclined position it’s all too easy to forget about everything except the scenery in front of you. Looking behind you is not difficult, but it does take practice.
