Thanks ladies! What prompt replies!

Deb: I did try to start with one foot clipped in today...and promptly fell! I did have to laugh at myself though. Thank goodness I was wearing tights.

But maybe my fanny was already in the seat, not sure. I do make sure I start on level ground. I will try it again and keep out of the seat and see if that helps any and start it in a bigger gear too.

Gosh! I sure hope this gets easier!
