Why are most bikes (60/70%) photographed from right side? Appears to be the case in mags/blogs/brochures etc.

I would also venture to say it's how the bike angles/leans - more appealing to the eyes. I'm sure there are some photo pro's on the forum who can chime in w/better reason(s).

this thing just blew my mind. i don't think my right foot would know what to do.
