I just spoke to my friend who is travelling in Canada (he is from Australia) and he went for a ride on a mountain bike only to find out that the brakes are setup around the wrong way when compared to back home.
He went over the handlebars in front of a car but was lucky enough not to get hit.
In Australia:
Right Hand Operates Front Breaks
Left Hand Operates Rear Breaks
I honestly didn't know that there were different setups for brakes. Something to watch out for when you go for a ride on someone else's bike!
