Getting on and off: there's usually a peg (think bmx peg or similar) welded to the NDS chainstay area. You get it moving, usually one hand on the bars, left foot onto peg, right foot over the back, and you're cruising. Reverse process for getting off.
Junctions: usually the people I know either find something to lean on (like a light pole), or something tall (car roof, newspaper box, etc) to put a foot on. If nothing like that is available, trackstand or hop off.
i can never understand how you get on and off these things. do you have to use a step? what do you do at junctions?
