I love the internet
I started reading this thread thinking I know nothing on this subject and I might learn something and I have
Not only does the world contain people who will advise others to corner inside foot down, they are happy to defend there advice when people who know better correct them
The last time I fell off my bike I tried to pedal round a moderate corner going down hill. The inside pedal clipped a small stump I hadn't seen and that was it I was off. As I lay on the ground at no point did I think. "I must have the inside pedal down going round corners more often".
My advice is this (if this is wrong please tell me)
If you are going round a tight corner, say a turn to the left, where the outside of the exit is a steep drop (on you right as you leave the corner) don't cut into towards the apex. When I do this I seem to end up approaching the drop head on and having to slow right down and then sort of wobble round the last bit. It seem to work much better to ride right round the out side of the corner and not try to cut to the inside until you are at least half way round. Does that make sense?
