"Put the other foot forward" is, for me, a lot easier said than done and turning the opposite way is just as bad. It is like trying to learn to skate switch when, as a totally fine skater you had to re-learn how to ollie and looked like an idiot who could barely make it up a curb.
I realised that those were the most obvious solutions but I just thought there might be another trick (other than losing limbs). It is just so frustrating I can trackstand for as long as I want on my everyday bike but have no confidence on my good bike. God damn you track geometry!
