For the love of Pete just pick your feet up and ride! I mean if you don't have enough confidence or the sense of balance enough to know how to handle that ride of your then 1) park it. 2) get your self a trike or some kind of training wheel kit. 3) take a riding course and learn how to handle that bike of yours.

Thanks I feel better now.
OK, how many seconds are allowed before you must retract your legs/feet? Just like a plane, you just can't retract the landing gear instantly upon take off. I though it is logical to retract your feet over 1 to 2 feet as you pick up the speed.

I agree, why would anyone keep their feet down? Well said.

I passed a bike this weekend & the passenger had her feet dangling 2" from the ground on a turn. I didn't think it was the smartest way to ride.

Try riding in loose gravel without putting your feet out close to the ground. I can't seem to do it.
