It's better when they're on the right ... trust me

I seem to prefer left-handers, mostly binned it on right-handers, and dislike roundabouts apart from the exits.

I think it comes from mountain biking though as i ride right foot forward making it only 1/4 of a pedal stroke to having my inside foot higher. if that makes sense?

Which ever way round happens to be more attractive.

Seems strange harriebird - as you spend lots of time on racetracks I'd have thought you'd be doing predominantly right handers (with exception of rockingham of course) and yes I tend to have my wits about me when turning right at junctions as well !!

I prefer left handers, they feel more natural. However, any rare peg/toe scraping has only been done on right handers BUT this is apparently a BAD THING as you are supposed to keep the bike as upright as possible when cornering (ie hang off more). So, I guess, left handers have it.
