I didn't read any thing wrong in Bite Size's initial response. Looks as if he was just offering his point of view. Rider or not, I think its important to welcome anyone into bike tech.

BTW- an old track coach once told me, lean all the way forward like you are going to fall forward. What ever foot you thrust forward to hold you up is the leg that is most dominant and stronger. He said its possible to be left handed and right footed and vice versa.
