I think the late Sheldon Brown (among other luddites) were proponents of right hand/front braking because it gave you the most powerful brake when signaling or giving the finger to motorists. OK, I added that last part.
Many years ago I worked in Australia for about 6 weeks. We were a bit stressed about the driving bit. One of the guys on the project fancied himself a car guy and on the flight was showing me a story in Road&Track or Car&Driver about the then new WRX which had yet to come to the states but was already in Australia. Having worked in printing I recognised that the photo of the steering wheel, dash and footwell was laid up backwards, making it seem that the pedals were also reversed. I had everyone in our group scared to death. Many thanks to the image assembler (we used to call them strippers) who screwed that up, it was priceless.
Actually it was not too bad if there was other traffic to remind you to fight your urge to drive on the right. One night, probably after midnight, I drove through a roundabout the wrong way and didn’t notice until I saw oncoming lights. Took a week to feel normal once I got home.
I rented an airplane to do some sight seeing and was pleased to note that the controls were “correctly” laid out (pilot on left). Of course I doubt Piper ever built special aircraft for the Aussies. I thought it was funny but the instructor who was giving me the checkout had heard that “correct-side” crap from every American pilot he’d ever flown with!
BTW, he-who-shall-not-be-named is reading the manual on a brand new centrifuge and checking the temperature on the fridge.

I would like to point out that the phone rang to conduct this interview JUST as I was walking in the house to make coffee (I lived in Curtis’s shed for the week). That explains the very deep, “I just woke up/don’t mess with me/where’s my coffee” tone of voice.
Bueno.

I have worn my bibs over my no-padded tights, but believe I have a good explanation…..I did a cx race, it was 20 deg and I wanted more insulation that just leg warmers. I wore the bibs over the tights to expose my team kit. Would you consider this a viable reason or should I man up and just were the leg warmers?
Thanks, LR

If you take the question mark off the last sentence, I think you just answered your own question.

Glad John G got some meds….I was worried. Why is it that only John G. gets sick? Am I mis-remembering? Has JK ever been sick on a podcast?
November 24th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
John G. gets sick because he has kids. Kids always bring home the germs.
November 24th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
I suspect it may have something to do with the abstainer/indulger dichotomy.
November 25th, 2008 at 3:42 am
I’m sick too, but have been following the JK life-plan for going on 2 weeks now. Oh, cruel fate.
November 25th, 2008 at 6:13 am
Oh no!!!! I’m torn!! Do I follow the two Js and their disgust of camelbacks, or do I cheer with delight at Garmin Chipotle as they will don a new camelback contraption? Oh..the dilemma is killing me!

Sounds like something you wear to sneak booze into a football game. Really that’s pretty gross! First a bladder in a sweaty shirt, then into nature’s bladder in the old bod, What next? One in shorts?
