This has blown my brain. I have never considered doing the diagonal first.

But then, my entire life I mounted a bicycle from the left, right leg over first. It occurred to me I did this so tried to mount my bike from the opposite direction. After finally figuring out how to even move my left left over the bars, I then fell over.

So based purely on this experience, I shall continue to do forward, followed by diagonal.

I'm still trying to get into the zone where I can just teleport to the correct squares without having to think about it.

Last time I rode a bicycle I almost wound up in a duck pond, so based on that experience I'm probably doomed to be a patzer for life. :-)
