    Are you sure you just don't need to tighten up where the saddle joins the seatpost? There should be some bolts under your saddle you can tighten up with allen keys.

    Depends on the pedals. Just about all pedals will have a nut in between the pedal and the crank arm. You can use a spanner to open this. The pedal on the righthandside, the drive side, unscrews normally, that is, anti-clockwise.

    The pedal on the left hand side unscrews the opposite way, clockwise.

    Or, if the pedals are fancier they will have an allan key socket on the inside of the crankarm. Makes things a bit easier. Same rule for the direction of un-screwing.
