I would like to retract my earlier posting and apologize profusely for my confusion. I swear I was only trying to help...

right = rear
I got everything completely backwards, as y'all have pointed out. The only part I got correct is that I have been drinking with the wrong hand. (My only excuse is spending too much time at my computer and not enough on my bike.) On my ride yesterday, I thought of you all and made myself drink only with my LEFT hand. It was not easy.

If I promise not to post anything else mechanical or directional in nature, will y'all let me stay?
