Stopping and Restarting a Bicycle

[FlourishingLove]

Just like others, here, I just got my first bike in 30+ years. I was having a difficult time stopping and starting, but after watching this, I gave it a go, and I feel much more comfortable, now. I still won't go on the road because I have to practice more, and also continue staying in the lines while peddling. I won't even use the bike trail if there are pedestrians, because I don't feel confident yet that I will be in full control of the bicycle. It takes practice, but it is fun to keep practicing. Thank you!

I'm tall and always used to just stay seated on the saddle and just put my foot down at a stop, that all changed when I bought a proper sized bike with the saddle at the right height. Now I have to relearn bicycle basics. Thanks for this video, very well done.

Oh my gosh!! Just got my first bike in 50 years. You've no idea how much I needed this. Many thanks x

Best tutorial out there. Grew up with my seat down low so i was always sitting down and pedalling. Now trying to unlearn that and not look stupid

Got my first bike in 20 years and fell off of it this afternoon.

I just panicked because I couldn't figure out where the hell to put my foot, and at the same time I pulled hard on the brake.

Didn't think I had to resort to a tutorial on how to stop and start efficiently, but here I am.

I'll definitely try this method. Doesn't seem too complicated

What we did automatically as kids doesn't always translate to us current day! Thanks

Used to riding an upright tricycle and now got myself a bicycle. Haven't ridden one in 25 years and was able to put feet on ground when I did so obviously seat was too low. Now trying to learn to ride again and it is SCARY! Seems so much higher and further to dismount. Scared just thinking about stopping at traffic lights or going downhill. Need to relearn to cycle on two wheels. This was a good video and made it look so easy to start stop. I'm still struggling to start.

This was actually the most helpful video

Nice, quick demonstration. Believe me, I've been stopping like the woman's BEFORE position. I'll be practicing. Keep up the good work.

This was so helpful and straight to the point!

Video cut straight to the chase, thank you!

2 weeks on and I can now stop and start like Emily (most of the time)! YT full of info on how to win the TDF for example but sometimes you just need to know "Yes, but how do I make it go and how do I make it stop?" X

just got my first bicycle iat 33 years old, thanks for the tutorial.

This may be the best way, but it's more tricky to execute with a high bar since in order to create mechanical advantage with the pedal foot you're going to be only on your toes with the ground foot

WTF! 2 weeks ago I had a bike fit and my bike seat was adusted. Then I have hard time getting on and off the bike. This grandma was amazing.

[sandyguevara]

Is it really that bad to stop the way she stopped in beginning with 2 feet on the ground? I feel you have more balance with 2 feet on the ground.

[atheistyoda]

HOW! It looks so easy but whenever I try to take off/restart using that method I always end up leaning to the side and losing balance.

Im relearning 😊. I always start while seated 😢

Any advice for turning without putting my foot slightly down. ? I am used to turning ( tight turns ) with cautioun so I "need" my foot to come out and be ready to land if I need to stop. How do you turn in a tight-ish way ?
