This was the scariest part for me at the start too! A heavy bike gives you the biggest scare while it's stopped. But once you get the knack, you don't need that much strength. Lowering your hips and supporting it with your whole body — a small trick makes a huge difference. It looks intimidating, but anyone gets used to it, so don't worry.

A practical article like this is worth more than its weight in gold to someone who just got their big-bike license.

What muscles does the guide actually explain to use for picking the bike back up?

My impression is these guides mostly focus on hip and leg technique, since trying to muscle it up with arm strength alone tends to fail.

Honestly not sure how much you can really absorb through text alone, actually practicing at a riding school seems faster.

Everyone stumbles at first on the push/pull technique, so a guide article like this is genuinely helpful.

I'd been anxious about tipping over at a stop, but reading this eased my mind a bit, going to try it out.
