covertwar is a decent person
That's how bikes outside of United States are set up.

Easy to do, just need to switch cables to have thelonger one for the back brake...

you can do nohanders on a bike, just put your foot in the wheel/forks and let go.

Im from outside US (Denmark), still our bikes are set up just like you'r americans. Front brake left, rear brake right. Anyway I switched the cables, just to see if I would be able to do endo's with my right hand too. Once I rolled out those just as good as I used to with my left hand, I switched the cables again.

One can get confused tho, a few days ago I fell onto my back grabbing my front brake as hard as I could, while going over in a wheelie. I was used to my moped where left hand=rear brake
