When you get back to London get yerself down to TrixieDix.
But while up there,
your front foot should be between 1 and 3 o'clock and the front wheel should be at about 30 degrees to the side of your forward foot.
The trick is, if you feel yourself slightly leaning to the left or the right, you apply pressure on the pedal to get the bike back directly under your weight, where you keep your balance.
So if your right foot is forward(your front wheel should be facing right), and your feel yourself falling to the right, you push on the right (forward) pedal,
and if falling to the left, you push on the left (pedal toward the back).
Sorry bout the essay, but this is exactly how i was taught.
