    If you can't ride a straight line at very, very low speeds (aka almost a trackstand), don't worry about clipping in the 2nd foot until you have enough speed to ride a straight line.

    I see beginners topple when the bike has barely moved because they don't push hard enough with the clipped in foot and they start searching for the 2nd pedal with the other. Just slam the 2nd foot on top of the pedal and start cranking.
    Yup!! This is what happened to me!! Duh! I will practice again today. Scraped knee and all! LOL Will work on more technical aspect of "on and off" with the bike on the trainer and see if that helps too. Thanks ladies!
