Default Draggin' feet

Do you do it? If so, how far and why?

Just something that came to me as i was riding behind someone the other day.

I always put my feet on the pegs as soon as I get under way; the exception is when I'm in a line of traffic moving up to a stop sign when I know I'm only going a carlength or so- then I usually tuck my feet behind the pegs (naked SV, standard riding position).

I've noticed that rydaz around here (as opposed to riders or bikers) almost always leave their feet hanging until 30 MPH or so, usually spread as wide as they can with toes pointed out to the sides. Seriously... I don't get it? This seems to apply even if they're rock-steady at low speed, so it's not a barely-able-to-ride thing, and even if they're the first in line at a light with open road ahead.

Does anyone here do this?
