This guy posts a lot of interesting videos on YouTube, often exploring interesting little facets of science. I thought this video was particularly interesting:
 
Theft proof bikes .

Reminds me of trying to ride some of the UK motorcycles made in the 60s with reversed foot controls .

Yes, but to get a small feel for what goes through your head should you actually try something like this, get a red pen in your left hand, and a green in your right, and play furious tic tac toe, one hand versus the other for 5 minutes.

Winning hand draws the lines, losing hand goes first.

You will learn quickly his message about resistance and plasticity.
 
I remember driving a modified car at a car show in the UK
They had reversed the steering rack, so you turn left to go right.
And switched the clutch and brake pedals.

People were invited to drive it on a short course.

Near impossible!
