I have a confession...starting the bike

[KnottedYet]

My new "intermediate" starting method doesn't have me gliding more than a nanosecond - left foot on the ground, right foot clipped to the pedal at between 12-1:00 - I push down and somehow my saddle slides under my butt and my left foot winds up on the pedal and off I go - this all happens really fast once I force myself to move.

I think if I tried to do that I would crash immediately!

My bottom pedal is the one my foot is on, not the top pedal.
So: left foot on the pedal, pedal at 6:00 or just slightly up. Right foot on ground. Push with right foot (a la a scooter) as as I glide I use the left pedal (still at 6:00) as a step and lift my butt onto the saddle. Once my butt is on the saddle I start pedaling with both feet.
