I don't know for sure but I doubt many people have really glaring differences in leg strength when it comes to pedaling. Most everyone is "strong" enough to turn a pedal with either leg if they can stand upright. So that is kind of a moot point. Just as importantly once you get your cadence up the other leg really can't be coasting around. It pretty much has to be applying a reasonably comparable amount of power to get the pedals to keep turning over.

Don't misinterpret this to mean that one leg can't be stronger or weaker than the other. It's more jsut to say that the difference has little impact on pedaling or overall power. The beauty of a power meter is that it measures power. Not how you generated it. In fact in the end who cares if you have one leg that is super powerfull and one that can do nothing if your w/kg is high enough? You will still get to the finish line first
