That's interesting, Bikerbarb. Are these experienced left-handed cyclist doing endos? Do you think bike shops should ask about a person's handedness and set up the bike accordingly? I am left handed but somewhat ambi and use only my left/front brake at low speed. I'd rather have the stronger hand on the front brake since it provides the most stopping power.
