jack0174 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Hello.I was out riding today with about 7/8 people and i noticed they are all left foot forward riders.Im a right foot forward and after seeing them all riding left foot forward, i tried it and it feels horriblei notice that most riders are left foot forward, so when you started riding was you left foot forward oris there anyone who started right foot forward and learned to ride left foot forward. Might sound likea silly question but it was really annoying me today.Thanks.Jack. Edited February 19, 2009 by jack0174 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxxis26 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 i ride right foot forward but have slowly learnt to ride switch (left foot) it helps if you have poor run-up and helps in natural riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It's whatever feels comfortable, I'm right foot forward, being left/right footed doesn't change how you ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.Baxter Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 It makes no difference which foot is forward. It can help to be able to do both but right foot is fine. The way i ride too Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I am right foot forward.Here's an interesting fact though: I can pedal kick on people's bikes when their brakes are on the wrong sides. Weird because I never could, I just... can now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
