That's funny.

I had the opposite reaction.

I KNOW how far you can lean a bike in a high speed turn, and how easy it is to have a pedal strike that way.

OTOH - I'm having trouble imagining how or why one would lean a bike that far at low speed when starting. Actually I can see the lean if one uses the so-called cowboy mount, but the lean would be away from the body, so the low side pedal would be high.

Can someone explain how the bike could be leaned that far with the low side pedal at 6 o'clock when starting?
