Driving backwards is much more difficult than driving forward because the bike doesn't self correct that way and the steering is quite unstable. I tried to learn riding backwards last summer, too. Eventually I stopped because I needed the bike for actual riding and my knees preferred having a freewheel. A ridiculously low gear seemed to help, I tried 40x20 (on a 622 with 165mm cranks) for a while.
