--- Quote from: S&MAlex on March 20, 2013, 11:17 AM ---for bikes being cycled on the road, in the UK they have the rear brake on the left. This is so if you are turning right, and are in the middle of the road with your right arm singling right, you can still pull the rear brake. (its a bit twitchy if you pull the front brake when you only have one hand on the bars). In the USA, and other places where you drive on the other side of the road, this is reversed.
This is the ONLY reason to have a brake on a particular side. Other than that ..... put it where YOU want it :daumenhoch:
