    I'm right-handed. I unclip my right foot, though I do swing my right leg over to get on the bike. I trust my right leg more to stand down and be steady. Though, I rarely touch the chain. I suppose I do that because it's my dominant side. My DH laughs at my skiing as I hate turning much to the right because I don't trust my left leg. Is that dumb or what? (Umm, that's a rhetorical question, by the way) I'm sure they are pretty much the same strength wise since I use them equally while riding. It's all mental....or am I mental?

    I unclip right... and ride goofy snowboard too!

    When I went to John Howard he specifically told me to switch at every stop, right one time, left the next, to ensure that I stretch each IT Band every other time I stop... so I tried, I really did, to unclip left... and I can do it. I look like I'm drunk as a skunk and outta control, but I can do it if I really concentrate!
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
