• I still can't work out left from right and up from down. It would be terrible!

    While I generally get up and down right, I'm not foolproof on left vs right. I was pushing off at my club TT a couple of weeks ago, and I saw one of the riders had two labels on her bars, either side of her stem. One said 'left' and the other 'right'. It was reassuring to know others also have problems with this.

  • It took me year and years to get this, and I sometimes still get it wrong.

    Oddly the thing that drilled it into my brain was Port and Starboard. You can have left Port, but not Starboard, also Port lights are red, like Port itself, which should be passed to the left.

    Also learning that if you look at the back of your hands with your thumb at 90 degrees to your fingers, the left hand side makes an L. This is the one that I use to check it most.
