Thanks to all the advice and support above, today at work I decided to take the plunge and flipped my wheel round too.
Five mile ride home and it wasn't too bad (although ashamed to say I did receive my first beep from a driver a I was looking down trying to work out how to get my left foot into the cleat).
I found riding down hill a little odd, just relaxed my legs and let the bike do the work. I was going a lot slower than I normally would too, but a few more rides and will see how it goes. Will have to see what its like tomorrow morning when the traffic is a bit heavier as getting started after stopping was also a challenge.
Basically, just a quick one to say good thread and thanks for the inspiration to do something I meant to do months ago!
