| Sep 13, 2018 at 16:45 | comment | added | Grigory Rechistov | I tend to keep both legs level when not pedaling. In MTB, it is essential on technical trails when you are not sure that there is no root, whether you are cornering or not | |

If I'm on the bike, it is totally unnatural (to me, at least) to put the inside leg down to "support my weight". That's the basis of the question. | |
