Two Left Feet ?

[Bend-it]

I live in Wellington, both feet most of the time...

[Disco Dan]

both feet go down. if a uphill start then when lights going to change, right foot onto brake. Down hill, and both feet on ground, and roll start.

[Ixion]

Harrumph. All very well for elongated types.

[NordieBoy]

Right, left or both.
Depends on the situation.

[Ixion]

Surprisingly, noone has yet mentioned ski poles. Invaluable for us short arses.

I do quite a bit of night riding, so find that foot on the rear brake gives that extra bit of visability to cars approaching from the rear.

Depends for me on the intersection.

If it's one I know when i'm gonna get a green, i'll put my right foot down and select neutral to give my left hand a break. Can then select 1st with right foot on peg when I know the lights gonna change.

If it's a foreign intersection (or I know green for me is coming soon) I'll leave 1st selected and have my right foot on the brake with left foot down.

And, as people have mentioned, if it's fuckin windy I'll have both down.

I try to get my left foot down, but sometimes it is the right. But never both, they just don't reach.

[Squeak the Rat]

Stop left foot down, right on brake, clutch in, first gear. Check mirrors for car about to rear end. If stationary car behind and long wait, change feet and hit neutral keeping right foot down.

The advice for both feet is for your licence exam to ensure the instructor see's you stop fully at stop-signs.


Next poll: Which leg do you use to get your leg over?

How about a 40kg flywheel?

[Squeak the Rat]

Use the tip of the jousting stick on the ground to balance the bike.

[Morcs]

I was taught to have left leg down as its kerbside.

Ive nearly been blown over at lights, so on windy days use 2 feet.

[Daffyd]

Neither. I rely on my trainer wheels!

Seriously though, it depends on the circumstances.
