A Bug's Life

I'm impressed you're able to balance on the bike, which is the hardest skill for people who can't ride a bike to learn. Gears and brakes are a lot easier to remember if you can drive a car, but a lot easier to intuit if you have a bike.

Low number gears are easier, so when you're about to go up a hill, click your left index finger until you get down to 1, and your right thumb until you get down to 1. 1,1 will be the easiest gear of all to get up the hill with.

If you feel silly pedaling madly and not getting anywhere, try higher gears until you feel comfortable. As soon as it starts to be hard work, click down to a lower gear again, and keep doing that for maximum comfort.

The left selector, marked 1-2-3, is the main one; the right selector is more for fine control, so leave that one alone if you're not sure, and just keep switching the left one up and down between 1 and 3 for comfort.

Brakes you should touch very gently if you want to slow down, there's no need to squeeze them hard. Again, it's like on a car, with the added 'fun' that you'll go flying over the handlebars if you squeeze them too hard.
