If you can, try to find a place with a steep slope.

Have an idea of your pedals Practice moving your foot off the pedal, first while sitting on your bike with one foot on the ground. Then move to the liberation and replace your foot while pedaling around for a bit. Those with footrests and less kind clip pedals want to spend a little more time practicing.
