  • Easier to turn the crank by hand... and just keep going by hand.

    I'm sure I'll get the hang of the treadle but so far I lack the coordination.

  • You rest your foot (without pressure) on an adequately tensioned treadle foot, shunt the crank with a sharp turn to start, and allow the momentum to start your foot turning it in the right direction.
