When I built my Robinson & my haro I ran left. When I built my team aero pro I ran right.
I was more comfortable with it on the right because I felt more in control giving my right hand the two jobs to deal with as I am right handed.
The TAP was the only bike out of the three I didn't end up falling off  :-[

Never new that, but it does make great sense.  :daumenhoch:

I used to swap the sides round   :)

for bikes being cycled on the road, in the UK they have the rear brake on the left. This is so if you are turning right, and are in the middle of the road with your right arm singling right, you can still pull the rear brake. (its a bit twitchy if you pull the front brake when you only have one hand on the bars). In the USA, and other places where you drive on the other side of the road, this is reversed.
This is the ONLY reason to have a brake on a particular side. Other than that ..... put it where YOU want it  :daumenhoch:
