Well...
I must be slow on the uptake, as it only just occurred to me that this truism is not so true over here in Japan. Like my wheels, I s'pose. I checked the brakes on both the bikes I bought here and realized that they are both "Left Rears". Really. Is it the case with all bikes in Japan, or is it just coincidence? Certainly, my Canada-kara Toreku is "RR".
I guess I must have figured this out intuitively, but never thought much about it. You just sort of instinctively realize that too much right hand is not productive, and switch over, rather like you do when driving a car (although, once in a while I end up turning on the windshield wipers when I only mean to turn).
Just an idle observation during a break...
