When I was shopping and road testing, I found other bikes with the same issue--esp the Cannondale tourer.

Does anybody else this problem? What do you do when you want to pedal out of a turn or during a turn?
In theory, when rounding a turn, your inside crank should be at 12 o'clock anyway. This is just good riding technique, but would also help your problem.
