How I did it: The biggest challenge you'll have an as adult learning is controlling the bike.  The best advice I got was this - turn the handlebars in the direction you're falling.  So, if you fall left, turn the handlebars left.  It's a lot like steering a car into a skid.  You'll start making hard turns at first, but then it gets easier and easier.  Make sure the seat is low enough so you can put a foot down without stretching.  Start by walking the bike, then gliding, then pedaling.  It gets real easy real fast.  Remember - STEER INTO THE SIDE YOU'RE FALLING TO.
