Anyways, the things I've noticed are:
1. I find it easier if, as I stand over the uni, I rest the heel of my
dominant foot on the tyre/rim.
2. The foot I have most trouble with is the non-dominant under the
saddle - not surprising 'cuz it's got further to travel. If I watch
the saddle, I'm OK. Maybe that's just me being nervous about the
seat missing my thigh and the uni going flying again (I've got the
bruises...)
My major concern now is damage to the uni (apart from it going flying,
that is). I'm putting a lot of weight across the crank and wheel -
something it's not really designed for. It's a pretty tough uni (20"
Semcycle) but I wouldn't fancy trying it on my 24" Pashley...
