    It's easier for me to turn left also, on bici and moto both.

    Part of it is just that my vision isn't as good out of my right eye, and when I turn to the right, all of a sudden I can't see in the direction I'm going, out of the left eye that I've been relying on otherwise.

    Part of it (and I'll bet it's part of your issue too Catrin) is the crown of the road. When you're turning into a downslope - as you do when you're turning right from the right side of a crowned road - your contact patch is reduced in size *and* it's on the wrong side of your center of gravity. Makes for a very unsteady turn.

    And then part of it is the smaller imbalances that we all have that I can't quite put my finger on. I expect it's a rare person who does everything with equal ability on both sides.
