That guy was still moving at 25kmh when he dismounted, a step or two and he was on the next bike. Clearly the crew weren't expecting him to hold quite that much speed as well!foo on patrol wrote:He came off the yellow and blue bike the first bloke grabbed but dam fast change over.

This is where cyclocross in the off season comes in really handy.Xplora wrote:That guy was still moving at 25kmh when he dismounted, a step or two and he was on the next bike.

While it probably has something to do with being right handed, but I find it extremely awkward to mount the bike from the left.
That makes me ask.........on what side do you normally mount your bike?

Even on motorbikes it is the same... Hence the side stand is always on the left.

Horses and motorbikes are always boarded from the LHS. Makes sense to use the same convention for pushbikes.greyhoundtom wrote: That makes me ask.........on what side do you normally mount your bike?

Now i have never thought about it before but i naturally mount from the LHS. But the Missus may have something to say about that

My wife dismounts on the right - makes for fun on our tandem.

On a tandem I guess the stoker would have to dismount first anyway unless you are able to throw a leg over the handle bars.il padrone wrote:My wife dismounts on the right - makes for fun on our tandem.
