Default Duck Walking

So who on here likes to duck walk their bikes? It was something that was taught in MSF course.

Hate it. But sometimes it is a necessary evil.

same here, i have a big chunk of plastic wraped around my lower right leg al lthe time that prevents my right foot from droppin/draggin but it also prevents it from moving around. as a result the duck walk is rather awkward for me sometimes even painfull

Yep, duck walkin is necessary at times. If it weren't for duck walkin, I couldn't get thru some places. But hate it? like it? Never occurred to me if I had a choice in either. Legs are just more 'tools' to get the job done easier...

NSC, I feel yer pain bro. I had to run for a few years with a leg brace from an accident that's all but forgotten now. The permanent limp keeps reminding me of it, tho. The plastic made me look like the kid with polio in those old movies which the other kids made fun of. I tossed the plastic, cuz for me it was more of a nuiscance than help.
