    today i decide to change my brake lever side from left to right... because i put my mobile usually in left pocket :) and when im turning left on the street i have my left free to give a signal. AND WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE ?

    Brake lever on the right side, just feels natural

    I like it on the left, I guess I got used to it there. But then again, my left hand is dominant for most tasks and I can force my right to learn the awkward stuff.

    i'm so used to with the standard bike brake set-up, ie. front brake = left lever & rear brake = right lever. hence my fixed ride's brake lever is on the left...

    on the right, it makes more sense for right handed people to use their "good" hand to brake. plus i used to ride bmx and you usually only use a rear so i got used to only having a level on the right hand side.

    The left, it makes it a lot easier to adjust if you have multiple bikes to keep brakes consistent.

    on my drop bars i run a right lever on the left side of my stem so it crosses over

    check out a product called a shot lever. one brake with two levers. one lever is smaler than the other. u can place it near the stem and u can use either hand. i have one, it works great on a fixie.
