i've been trying both ways
with the emphasis on try
riding across the hall and lifting one foot, trying to find the fork
without shoving my foot on the tyre and faceplanting
and
one foot idling, trying to get enough oomph into that one foot to
actually get it over the top
i just can't seem to get it to complete the circle

how do u get from one foot idling into the stroke for one foot riding?

Going down a very slight slope helps a lot. But make sure it's not too
steep, then it's even harder. And you'll get too used to the momentum of
ust moving downwards, rather than just using your own power to pedal.

today i rode about 20 pedal strokes a few times. about 8 full pedal
strokes average. my learning method worked really well! i was really
happy with my results after one day. This method:

Bicycle is just a short way of saying unicycle with a training wheel.

Am I the only person who found that one-footing uphill was easier? That
way you could sort of lean forward and give big pushes. I found going
downhill challenging at first cause you had to be controlled in slowing
down the uni...

Why would you need two feet, if you only have one wheel?
