OK, just had to input my comment. I have a Trike so it doesn't make a difference. I hit the fender with my big foot getting off either side. Stand on the foot boards getting on. Getting off I always plant my foot on the ground first and then get off which causes me to drag my following foot on the riders seat and fender. Just my input. So when you guys get ready , get a Trike and have fun. Lot less issues.

Got a YouTube video of that? Would love to see it!

Low side for me... previous threads on this topic recommend high side, but I guess because I'm short, it didn't feel natural and it seemed more likely I would kick the seat.

Either side. Had a left knee replacement in 2008.

After years of doing it from the low side... Anymore I prefer from the high side. I'm 5'11 so average height, but for me it's actually easier and I don't kick the tourpack backrest as often when I do it from the high side for some reason. No knee or back, etc problems, just for some reason (which surprises me actually), it's easier on the right side??

High side always. Maybe because I'm a lefty, seems natural throwing the left leg over. Tried the right leg a few times last night and bout fell over! (That was sober even)
