Why didn't I think of that.

I can relate to this article. Why didn't I think of that.

And for the pianists and organists among us - drive side is treble.

and for the guitar players the drive side is on the pedal.

never ridden with anyone yet who did not know their left and right but maybe they were just followers...........

of course you realise that down unda here in australia left and right is upside down and almost back to front.

this is entirely why the back wheel was put on the front in the first place

My son is terrible with left and right, but at least he's not dyslexic, so he can hold up his first finger and thumb and remind himself. But that doesn't help him with N, W, E, S. It must be in the genes, my grandmother and uncle also were directionally and spatially challenged (and my uncle is a great mathematician, just don't ask him to put a jigsaw puzzle together). My generation is fine though. Mom talks about pulling my older brother on little-red-wagon rides when he was a toddler, and he would start crying when she turned around to go home. She tried doing things like circling blocks to confuse him, but he still knew when they were going home.

Not all guitar players use pedals. A cyclist has one on each side. For guitar players: "fret" and "bridge", although that would confuse Hendrix.

Taking the pedals off, or taking the BB to bits. One side has its screw-thread the wrong way round. What? Which way round? Have I cross-threaded it or am I just screwing it tighter? AARGH!

left PEDAL has left hand thread. right pedal has right hand thread.

Bottom bracket is the other way around. Left side is right hand thread (undoes anti clockwise). Right side is LEFT hand thread. undoes clockwise. write it on a tag and cable tie it to the pedal wrench
