Answer

Start by finding a bicycle where the saddle can be lowered enough so that you can reach the ground with both feet while seated.

Make sure there's a working hand brake.

Pull the pedals off. Remember that the left pedal has a reverse thread. It comes off clockwise.

Find somewhere flat, and out of the way. A gentle slope will work too.

Straddle the bike, and walk/run/kick your way forward by pushing off against the ground with your feet.

Practice your balance by taking longer and longer strides.

When you are comfortable doing this, reinstall the pedals.

Find a gentle slope. A lawn is ideal.

Put one foot on a pedal, kick off with the other one.

Get the other foot in place and start pedalling.

Now you're riding.

When you're OK with this, raise the saddle.

When seated, your leg should be entirely straight if you put the heel on the pedal in its lowest position.

When riding, the pedal should be under the pad of your foot.

Study the Rules of The Road for cyclists.

Enjoy your new freedom.
