Mounting / dismounting

If I understand right side correctly, the opposite side of kickstand? That seems odd, I don't recall anyone I know getting on a bike from anything other than kickstand side.

There is always an odd ball in the bunch. Like baseball, I'm a switch hitter. I truly have an easier time bringing my left leg over than my right. I need to do more ballet stretching I guess. 🩰

The reason I said stand on the right is that way you are getting your knee higher to start with and then you are sliding it downhill. But the system works on either side so I tend to stand on the "safe side" away from passing traffic. What I never do is stand on the pegs to mount any bike, it just doesn't feel stable - probably just me but there you go!
