    I'm left handed (most of the time). Left is right for me!
    Oh my goodness, I agree with the horse thing. I absolutely can't get on the bike from any side other than the left, even if it's a spinning bike. I also can't walk anywhere w/ my bike unless I'm on the left. It's completely ingrained in me to do it that way. However, I unclip right as it just feels natural to me. Plus my left leg is stronger (maybe from all that eq riding when we only had to work on the rail to the left and I cheated with my right leg ) and you always put your right foot in the stirrup last and take it out first, so maybe that has something do do with it. Who knows?

    I also have a very hard time delivering a baby from the right side (that's my right side, not the mom's)...although I believe this qualifies as "thread drift"!

    I would have a heck of a time getting on a bike from the right side (ie: left leg swung over).
