Hmmm... never really thought about this until now. But, I definitely can "tripod" myself with a slight hip shift and balance on my pointed toe on pretty much all of my bikes. Usually use my "to traffic" (left) foot to do this, so maybe there's an assist from the crown of the road. I don't have particularly long legs.
The other trick is to use the curb side foot to stand on a curb, if there is one. You do have to be aware of roadside debris when you do this. - Jim / cyclofiend.com On Monday, April 29, 2013 3:55:16 PM UTC-7, Steve Palincsar wrote: > If you've got the saddle at the right height, unless you are riding one > of those 'crank forward' designs you are going to have to dismount when > you come to a stop.
