The character doesn't know how to ride a bike and tries to remember what his
friend was doing when starting the vehicle.

He then says to himself :

> たしかここんとこを **グリッて** まわしてたような……

I can't find any info on グリッて, what does it mean?

Meaning of グリッて
This グリって is a mimetic adverb (擬態語) which is basically the same as
[グリグリ(と)](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/jn2/64021/m0u/):

> 押さえつけながら強く回すさま。「ひじで肩を―（と）もむ」

It's similar to
[グルグル(と)](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/jn2/64340/m0u/%E3%81%90%E3%82%8B%E3%81%90%E3%82%8B/)/グルっと
which describes how something rotates smoothly. But グリグリ refers to a more
forceful, unsmooth movement/rotation.
