I didn't realise what a bee hive this would disturb! Most of my bicycles are cantilevers or centre pulls so there is no difference in terms of "line!" It's all been really interesting though and far more complicated than I thought. I'm just more comfortable with R-front L-rear. I am also glad that when I go back to Blighty that the accelerator, brake, clutch on the motor cars are the same as in the USA. I do, however, sometimes reach for the gear shift lever on the side where it is not located. I also sometimes get into the wrong side of the motor! Makes me feel like a real "eejit" if I can quote my Irish side! Lawrence Bradley, Tacoma, WA, USA
