Yes. However, according to an old clubmate, fifty-plus years ago, when UK brake set-up was the norm, most front-only fixed bikes were LHS. He said this was to allow for braking when signalling right. I've always had conti brakes, so never an issue for me.
Thanks. Yes, the signalling right thing was what I remember. Main reason I favour a cross top lever on the LHS. Don't think I can do the same with a drop bar lever, though, being habituated to it on the RHS on road bike.
