Left leg in, left leg out, in out in out

I was thinking about this the other day and wondered why I use my left all the time so it seems like I have yet another deficiency in my cycling.Oh well.

Equally there's usually no excuse for not working on to improve our skills no matter what level. I don't want to be less than I can be, so I keep on using the weaker side, both foot down or hand down to build it up and improve myself.

It's never been an issue before until BM told me it was yet another defiency of mine.

I'm having a problem with my left cleat at the moment and clipping in first time is prooving elusive - just since a change of cleats, the position of the cleat is near as damn it to the previous one and feels good in the ride. So 'im guessing is micro-mm out but enough to destroy muscle memory.

Anyway, my point being, I tried not unclipping my left but switching to the right, but left is SO natural its hard not to auto-pilot the unclip, so I gave up trying the right

That second/s can make all the difference when pulling from the lights..

Easy on that inferiority complex Hackers. It's not a dig at you, it's a general statement of fact. I too have this weakness, I'm not nearly as good as I'd like to be on the weaker side.

...both left feet.

 

[jonny jeez]

left foot always - probably always been more natural but since motorcycle training virtually dictates that the left foot goes down, it sort of stuck.

Ditto, although i didnt realise this till I read your reply.

interesting

Left foot first.

Mikey, to be honest I just cycle and enjoy it, its a skill I learnt as a kid and I never thought about needing to be two footed!

Now if I was a footballer on 100k a week

Hey just get out and ride the bike hackbike and dont let things get to you

Both, simultaeneously with a big Ta-Daaa and my bike slides from under me straight into the chanel in the rack.


Actually, the left.

 

[palinurus]

Left foot, but I can do both. Prefer left.

 

[SPHDS]

Left foot almost exclusively (my right leg is weaker, so less able to balance - mild CP!), which came in very useful when it came to CBT and motorbike training!

 

[goo_mason]

Left unclips and goes down - I'm right-handed so using my right leg to power off from a stop seems much easier.

Depends on which junction. Usually the left comes off to perch on the kerb, making my start easier. However there are a couple of junctions where there is a convenient kerb on the right hand side, so do the reverse.

However without a kerb, left foot every time. I think.

As Jim says.Always easier with a kerb though,can just about put my tip-toe down if there's not one.

Sorry young mike.

You have a point in a way though...does come useful in a clipless moment...I think I had one of these and managed to step with my right,just.
