How to Mount a Bicycle
Just learning to ride? The first step is getting on. Here are some instructions on how to get started. Soon you'll be riding off into the sunset on your ten-speed.
1. **Stand on the left side of your bicycle.** 
2. **Position the left pedal at the 10:00 position (as on a clock).** 
3. **Put your left foot on the left pedal.** 
4. **Push off twice on the ground with your right foot, as this will give you enough momentum to swing your right leg over the seat without falling off.** 
5. **As your bicycle begins to move, swing your right leg over.** 
6. **Sit down on the bicycle seat and pedal away.** Note: If you feel comfortable starting on the right side of the bicycle and pedaling first with the right foot, that's fine too.
7. **Throw your leg over the middle bar and stand flat-footed with one foot on each side of the bike.** You should be standing just in front of the bike seat, and not    fully seated yet.
8. **Position one pedal at 10:00 and place your foot on the pedal while leaning a little to the other side.** Your other foot which is still flat on the ground will help you keep your balance.
9. **Push down with the foot on the pedal, and stand up on it at the same time.** This will raise you up and allow you to sit on the seat.
10. **Place your other foot on the pedal, push forward and you are riding!** 
11. **Probably want to apply some brake pressure so the bike won't run away
** 
12. **Wear a helmet.** This method is not easy.
13. **Start with the left pedal at ten o'clock and stand on the left side of the bike, holding the handlebars.** 
14. **Run alongside the bike, pushing the bike by the handlebars until you get up to speed.** 
15. **When you're ready to mount, jump off the left foot and swing your right leg over the bike.** You should land with your right thigh on the seat.
16. **Push down on the left pedal and catch the right pedal on its way up.**
