• sit straight up (hips forward, straighten back), but not too straight up (just like walking you have to lean into the direction you want to go -most likely forward for now!-).

• look forward (since your 'balance-instrument' is between your ears, and will work better in horizontal position).

• sit with your whole weight on the seat, and as few as possible on your pedals!

• do not sit to low (sitting on you uni, you should be able to reach the lower pedal with a streched leg).

• Do not hold the seat while riding.
