The 757/767 idles above 70% N2...doesn't take much of a bump to get the airplane moving...and you can accomplish a crossbleed start with the operating engine at idle. Single engine ground ops is no biggy...unlike all narrowbodies I've flown that require some sort of static runup just to get pneu pressure.

Actually, 2 engine taxi will probably require you to ride the brakes.
