Pedal tricks: mounting your bicycle

[RolliePollie]

Do you know how to mount your bicycle the cross-cycling way where you clip in the foot to the pedal closest to you while the bike is moving and then hop on it? How did you learn?

I am afraid to try it Any tips?

There is no way I could ever get up the courage to try this. Although people who do it make it look easy. For uncoordinated me, bike and self would both end up in a broken heap on the ground!
