Not a problem... bikes are more floppy when they're stopped, so just keep the wheels spinnin'!

Both feet down on the stop, but in the most part if you keep moving there is no problem. Just keep the shinny side up when your moving.

The faster you go, the more upright and stable a bike will be, due to the gyroscopic effect from the wheels and engine. When stopped, I use my legs and feet or the kickstand.

I see many good suggestions....just don't try training wheels...they are murder on the turns!
