Same here. Right-handed, unclip on the right first, because that's the way DH taught me. I can't imagine doing it any other way now, so I think it's just the way I learned. If I had taught myself, I might do it the other way, I guess. Even after fracturing my pelvis and being non-weight bearing on the right side for quite some time, when I finally got back on the bike, I unclipped first on the right, leaned right, and put all my weight on that (recently healed) side. Now that I think about it, maybe that was not so smart, but it's the only way I can seem to do it. I know it's best to be able to unclip either side depending on circumstances, but I am just not that coordinated on my left side!
