  1. For some reason, I find it more difficult to ride backwards then
    forwards. I notice that I seem to speed up as I pedal backwards.

    Any tips?

  2. Lean back to get started, and then concentrate on leaning forward (which
    will get you more straight up in the saddle). I call this "settling" and
    I still say "settle" to myself to this day - otherwise sometimes I'll
    forget and go too fast.

  3. Gee, backwards harder that forwards? What a kooky world we live in...

    lol, sorry...

    But, yeah, I used to do that, too. Finally, I kinda started over in my
    head. Sorta teaching myself how to ride again, just backwards. I still
    usually end up going faster than I want to, but I just have to remind
    myself, "You have complete control over the wheel. Keep your body weight
    centered"

    If your body weight is centered and balanced, you won't accelerate.

    Funny how in this forum, no one thinks it's weird if someone says, "I
    tacoed my giraffe..."

    The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a
    capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
    labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
