Not Safe For Work
Wait a minute. Which side of the bike did they mount from? The brake's the one on the right, right? It sounds like a game of Twister. If you do it wrong, you could end up facing backwards.I took a safety class given by Asheville PD Motor officers. They said they were trained to mount/dismount with the left hand on the brake, and crossing over the bike. Brake keeps the bike from moving, and the left hand keeps the right hand free for firearm use. Also, if they neglected to put the kickstand down in an urgent situation, the bike won't fall on top of them, but rather away.
I've got to go outside and try that now.
