#1001 Having to spin the pedals around on a bike in order to start riding

You're out with your friends and you all decide to race bikes. As each person claims a bike, you climb onto yours. Your friends begin to ride away and you put your feet on the pedals and push. Nothing happens. You look down and realize that you need to adjust the petals in order to get a strong enough first pedal. You lost the race because of that.
