Using your hand to hold the pedal is a technique that racers use to get their foot in quicker. Another method is to learn to flick the pedal with your foot. (Actually you flick the pedal quill with your cleat.) Anothe thing that you should learn to do is to pedal with the pedal upside down. This way you can pedal 4 - 6 pedal strokes before you try to put in your foot. This will lesson the chance of falling over when you put your foot in the pedal Mike Walpole
