All bolt heads on the drive side.
Rim labels read from the drive side.
Hubs script read from the rear of the bike (i.e. sitting on the saddle).
Handle bar tape is wrapped starting from the bar end to the bar middle so that the exposed edges are "downhill".
Brake cable/housing routes to the rear of the handlebars (never in front).
QR levers on the non-drive side because Tullio said so fifty years ago.
And valve stems are boxed by the spokes.
Why? Well, I just don't know.

You know you're getting old when you have to move the shifters on your city bike from the downtube to the bars after narrowly missing a parked car.
