Ha...that’s about what it felt like...
You had to be an expert at balancing the bike...had to load the bike rack carefully and stand the loaded bike up leaning on the side of the house...close the garage door...very carefully move the bike to the sidewalk without lifting the front end up or the whole thing would tip over.
The first few cranks on the pedals were hell...and I had to go slightly up hill towards my route. Fun stuff that was.
