Not only leaning, but some individualistic pedalling styles (including the legs of same pair having different styles.
)
I know I pedal harder with my right leg and it's appreciably thicker, especially in the thigh to prove it. Since I did my achilles a couple of years ago my right shoe shows more wear than the left.
I'm right handed with a dominant left eye (but I've never fancied my chances at building wheels.) I can shoot very accurately holding a gun right-handed but using my left eye. When forced to do it by a fussy instructor I could shut the left eye and use my right for aiming but it always seemed uncomfortable. I hasten to add it's nearly forty years since I fired anything but an air rifle.
Back to funny pedalling, I thought of Luc Leblanc although he was the one laughing once he'd got the jersey on.
