Got it; now I'll recognise @Dogtrousers' riding style on my next Fridays ride. Ta!

Triple back somersault and reverse pike

Triple back somersault with a sideways flip is my usual dismount.
Or this from Page 5

Come on which one is it ?

If you watch this classic cycling video, the bloke at 22sec lifts his leg over his front handlebars to get off, very cool indeed, but it was the 1950's.

It's a bit late, but I used to mount and dismount like that riding fixie, a throw back to high ordinary riding ,I think.
I now prefer to scoot mount from the right.
Or if riding the recumbent , just squat!

Getting up is more a palaver though
