Which foot do you place on the ground when stopping?

Stick N Move · 07-01-2009, 09:51 PM

Well I always use my left foot but i've seen people use right and ive seen others use left. Ive also heard that it has something to do with whether your right or left handed? I dont really believe that but just for tickles and giggles why dont we put it to the test?

I use both and i'm right handed. Mostly use the left, prolly around 80%, but if i'm coming up to a light that I know is a long wait, i'll put my bike in neutral and put the right foot down so i can shift and take off if i need to or when the light turns green.

Because you didn't create this as a poll?

I do the same as well for long lights and i do find myself to rarely use my right.

Both feet when coming to a stop. Left foot ground, right foot brake and sitting up if at a light.

lefty. righty handy.

usually right, but it doesn't matter really, depends on the situation.

Left handed.

Didn't vote because it just depends. I don't really think about it too much.

MJ939 · 07-01-2009, 10:39 PM

Sometimes use the right, but as some people already said, I'll put my left down so I can use the rear brake. I'm right-handed.

jbird82 · 07-01-2009, 10:42 PM

MSF taught us left foot down first so that's what I've always done.

badbowtie · 07-01-2009, 11:01 PM

I was taught at the safety coarse to put the left foot down so you keep the right on the rear brake. so that what i do most of the time.

Sometime i will use the right foot depending on the grade of the road.

Depends, none of the choices was a definite for me. i'm right handed
