left side crashes ?

[Fixed]

bro the helmet thread got me thinking do riders crash more on the left than right sides? by my scars I'd say yes . i.m.h.o.cheers :beer:

I'm just the opposite. It seems that a majority of the crits I've raced are mostly right hand turns, hence a disproportionate number of scars on my right side.

bro mine have right turns and I still fall on the left side more last time 2 years ago I crashed at a crit on a left turn I fell on the right side ( 8 truns in a miles).cheers :beer:

Most of mine are on the right hand side of the bike. Can't explain why but maybe I tend to fall towards my stronger side?? I'm attaching a photo from my crash on Saturday on some local singletrack. I call it tree rash rather than road rash!

Can we make this into a poll? Not sure how that's done.

I always crash on my left side. :bike:

The holy rag of better American cycling rags had a short column about left and right-handed cyclists and that possibly the indiscernible difference in arm strength added to the rider’s lack of attention causes the bike to be pulled in the respective direction. Is it true then that more righties meet the curb while us lefties meet… I don’t even want to think it!

Lets see...
road left, road left, mtb right, mtb right...(only counting big mtb crashes...and I'm not sure how to categorize an endo anyhow) The crashes to the right were "big issue" crashes...

I'm a notorious left-winger. My left collarbone is two inches shorter than my unscathed right.

it's the ones down the middle that really hurt.

It seems that cars always hit me from the left and I land face down on my right, so which part of the impact are we talking about?
