I love this guy. He was the only place online that I could find an explanation for why the left pedal of a bike screws on opposite to normal direction. Everyone that fixes bikes knows the left one screws on "wrong", but no one at any bike shop could explain why the left. Because on a first analysis, it seems that it should be the right one that needs reverse threading to keep from getting unscrewed. http://sheldonbrown.com/pedals.html http://sheldonbrown.com/pedals.html (scroll down to "Pedal Threading")
