hmmmm I'm right handed and unclip right (I'm left foot dominant though...) I prefer to start with my dominant foot clipped in so the right one is always the one that comes out. I'm naturally right handed though I can be fairly ambidextrous if I try.

I'm extremely right handed and pretty right footed, but I'm left eyed. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

I'm right handed, clip out right first, clip in left first. I developed this habit from learning to ride clipless on the back of a tandem, so it was was easier/more natural to follow what DH did. He's a right-handed person who also unclips on the right first. Just call us oddballs!

I am right handed and initially always unclipped right first and would then panic and unclip left as well. And I would start with my left foot clipped in. These days, I switch it up for both in and out. I may go in and out of the right a little more often. Of course, I am going to go on my first ride with my new pedals tomorrow. We will have to see if it that changes things.

I unclip right and it drives my boyfriend crazy. He's been trying to break me of the habit and finally bought a tandem for us to cure me of my misdeeds.
Just kidding...the tandem was already in the plan and the bonus is that it's going to force me to unclip left.

I unclip my left, but still manage the grease tatt on my right leg.

Yeah, what Eden said? I'm confused about what is incorrect with unclipping right. I unclip right and lean right away from traffic when I stop -- I feel safer, personally. I wish I were more ambidexterous, but I'm just not. I don't get chain tats, either! Well, at least not often. Originally Posted by Eden
