At 00:27 I discuss details about the bike. At 01:00 I explain how you should be positioned on the bike. I discuss where the seat should be and what your ankle, knee, and hip motion should look like. At 01:55 I explain a couple tips you can use if you don't have enough knee flexion to make a full revolution.
