Just idle wondering really
A guy I ride with occasionally does, on all his bikes, mostly cause he started off in bmx. It does give you better cable routing as well I think.
I ride rear brake right hand on bmx, but ride british style on all other bikes.
Yes on my fixies so I can brake and signal when turning right

How do you brake when turning left?
Yes - switched for better cable routing, can't really see any disadvantages.

you don't signal on a fixie..
You don't have brakes on a fixie either.

FTFY
Bah, damn you, GaddPaul.
8) I'm the leader of the gang, I am.
Front brake in Sweden is on the left side (in the whole of Europe I suspect!).
In hairy situations my brain goes back to the child state and I struggle to know which brake is for which. Really annoying. I think I'll switch them over, cant stand having to bleed the brakes again though!
My mum does on all her bikes - been riding since the 50s...
I'd be over the bars before i got to the end of my garden path
Yeah both mountain bikes but commuter is normal. No real reason behind it though...
Non Britsh cyclists mostly - as I found out when I hired a mountain bike on Mallorca, for a guided ride.
The ride started with a climb for about 2 miles, which meant that I didn't have to brake until I was on a fast downhill singletrack section - that almost ended nastily!

I brake when turning left I think signalling when turning against the traffic is more important.And of course you have a brake on a fixie on the road
Yep. Had them like that for over 30 years. Came from riding continental road bikes in my youth.
I do as I am very right handed and I want to mitigate the problems if I panic and grab a handfull with my right hand...
1 bike does, the other 2 are normal UK
I also have 2 motorbikes with the back brake on the left and 2 with it on the right
Been running brakes that way since i got into mountain biking was easier to route the cables and also makes lending your bike out fun.
