From: boogled up in...Idaho!

Bikes: Crap. The box is not big enough...

when I signal, I point out to the following cars which way I am turning, using whichever hand that is. I've gotten enough WTF looks from teenagers when signaling a right hand turn with my left hand, that I've given up. Pointing always seems to get the point across.

I'm left-handed and so prefer the "conventional" setup, but in a fit of boneheadedness (late-onset dyslexia?) I set up my new bike backwards last summer, and I kind of like it...I very seldom use just one lever, and apparently that brake modulating feeling is ambidextrous. The cable routing is surely cleaner.

Also the bike has carbon rims, and an OTB stopping experience may not even be possible
