I've been strictly a right-foot down person, both on the tandem and single bike, ever since a rider I knew had her left foot run over by a pickup truck while stopped at a light. And yes, one does have be be careful of the footing, and it's a bit of a PITA because the road to the right will always be a little lower. Still, it's a good thing to be leaning away from traffic.
