^^^ lol yea i only do that if im going to be there for a while. typically i have both feet down and standing up off the seat. I like to stretch out when i have the chance and everything around me is calm, in heavy traffic ill stay in gear and left foot down.

for those of you that cover the rear brake at a stop.. ummm sumtin wrong with your front brake??? Personally I only use my rear brake in grass, gravel, slow maneuvers (friction zone shyt), or emergency braking.

I live in the mountains, rear brake and left foot down is e-z mode. I only speak for myself though.

When I take off my training wheels I will see which foot is first.

ORIGINAL: rrasco

Left is first to hit ground, always keep the brake covered as long as I can; first one up is right, once again for the sake of braking.
+1. Keep the bike in 1st as i slow to a stop in case i need to get out in a hurry. i got yelled out so many times in the MSF course for not doing that.

Left is always down first except at one light I commonly stop at.... the road is tilted at the light and my left wont reach the ground there without laying the bike over so I put the right down and sit there with my knee bent .........it feels weird....LOL

Right 1st, then both on the ground. As we use the left side of the road, seen so many riders come unstuck pulling up to a stop, throwing their left leg out & finding that its a bigger drop (road curvature or just big hole) & over they goes. (Not quite as funny as seeing someone get the cuff of their jeans tangled on the footpeg just after they have leaned their bike over to park), but almost.
