Thanks Becky, I guess that answers why I couldn't find much on the web about it. Too many variable.I think finding a hill to practice on is a great idea. I happen to live on a few! Sometimes I am extra dumb
Oh so if I'm starting from a stand still at the bottom of a hill (lots of cars, need to stop so I can look both ways) I assume I'll need to be in my lower gears already? So turn the crank with one foot to shift down before I take off?
