I was talking with my son-in-law today. He had his a bike shop in Dallas and rides both road and mountain bike races competitively. He said that brake lever positions same are all over the world they are right rear and left front. Also said he was always being ask to switch them around for his customers when he was in the business. I am wondering which came first hand brakes on bicycle or motorcycle hand brakes. :? :roll: :|

Errrrrrr, not trying to be funny but he is wrong.
Over here (the UK) we have the sense to mount the front brake on the right (and the same on a motorbike) side.
But we also ride on the correct side of the road :-D
