I once owned a vintage motorcycle with non-folding footpegs. A friend and I used to race each other thru some fairly gnarly windy roads, and I would sometimes need to have the knee out so I could have the cycle more upright and get thru the corner without the footpeg getting too close to hitting the pavement. It's carried over to my bicycle riding. I have slightly dragged a pedal on my road bicycle going around a corner, guess I should have had the pedal upward, but didn't.
