😀 a mate of mine got caught out when he hired a road bike/racer in France. Hadn't touched the brakes until he was coming down hill and touched what he thought was the back brake, nearly cart wheeled forwards.
I hadn't heard of the opposite mounted brakes until then.

Yep, its weird standards... like JDM/AUS car indicators, which are on the right!

Yep. So BMXs like yours would only have a back brake, but on the LHS.
