Riding backward

* Roll forward at medium speed.
* Take your right foot and place it facing backward on the left pedal.
* Then put your left foot backward on the right pedal.
* Lean your body against the handle-bars and switch hands when you're comfortable.
* You should be facing toward the back of your bike now, with your left hand on the right grip and your right hand on the left grip.
* Suggestion: Don't rest your weight on the handle-bars when you ride backward--it makes balancing and steering more difficult.
* Then switch your hands followed with your feet back to their original position.
