  1. Okay. So i can now wheel walk, but i can't go from wheel walking to
    riding. Just don't see how you can get your feet off of the wheel to the
    pedals. Any tips?

  2. I put my left leg down first. I look down, see when the left pedal is in
    the down position then put my left leg down (by this time the pedal is
    back) then my right leg and ride away...I think it would be personal
    preference as to when you put your feet down though, just look down and
    experiment with different pedal positison until you find one that feels
    comfortable. Thats what I did.

  3. I'll assume you're bringing your right foot down first, for sake of
    convenience. Try to glance at the pedals while you're wwing, and get an
    idea of where the right pedal is. When it's coming down in front,
    between vertical all the way up and horizontal, take your right foot off
    the wheel and set it on the pedal. As soon as your right foot is planted
    solid, bring your left foot down to the other pedal, while pushing down
    with the right, so the left pedal is nearly at the top when your left
    foot touches it. Then ride off. Eventually, you can go from wwing to the
    pedals no matter where the pedals are, as long as you know where they
    are. Try not to watch the pedals too much; just glance briefly at them
    to get and idea of their position.
