Can you mount your bike from the wrong side..

[sheddy]

I wonder if it's related to being left or right footed (as in football) ?
I'm left footed and can only mount from the right. Ditto in the bedroom

I have to get on and off my bike from/to the left, but I get on my motorbike from the right as I store it close to a wall on it's left side both at home and at work...but in a carpark I get on from the left.

I'm also a lot more confident cranking the bike/motorbike over on lefthand corners than right.

 

[yello]

I honestly have no idea. I'm pretty sure I can get on and off from either side, likewise I don't think I have a preference for clipping in or out with either foot. I reckon it just depends on where the bike is and what is most appropriate/convenient at the time. I know that if, for some reason, I can't clip in then I'll try with the other foot rather than do battle.

I guess it's experience; as the same man also said "these things take time"

 

[Plax]

I'm not bothered which side I get on & off the bike, or with which foot I push off with. It all depends on what side I'm standing at the time. Suppose it helps that although I'm "right handed" when writing I can use my left hand for most other things, very handy for using saw and painting and stuff when one hand/arm gets tired.

I can mount from both sides, but clipping is more alien to me from the right side.

I can just about brush my teeth with my 'weaker' hand (left) but left-handed arse-wiping is a no-no; it just gets smeared everywhere!

What made you try?

What made you try?

Having a bandaged right hand after an accident at work a long time ago.
I'm just glad I broke my left collar bone before!

Did you not ask for ASSistance?

It wouldn't have been a 'hole' lot of good!

That must have been a bummer.
