LOL Reminds me of the first time that I used bar end shifters.
My wife and I bought a new Santana tandem that had bar end shifters (this was pre-indexing). Bar ends are oriented backwards vs. down tube shifters. The first time that we came to a steep hill I wanted to shift into the granny chainring and biggest rear cog at the same time. I think that it took me 5 tries before I could make my brain work both shifters in the desired direction at the same time.
