Where's your cyclocomputer mounted?

I was in the LBS today. My new bike is being built, and the wrench wanted to
ask me some questions about my fit. I'm buying a computer from them, and he
asked me which side of the stem I wanted it. I've always mounted it on the
left, just like the speedo in my car. It was instinctive. Where do you guys
mount yours?

On the right, when I had a cycle computer. I used
the left side for the handlebar headlight.

Right over the stem.
Whether the actual mount is leftor right depends on the meter.

Last I saw mine, it was in my toolbox.

Me too. It wasn't conscious decision.; The first one I got the LBS
installed it and that is how they did it. Ever since that seems the 'right'
way to do it.

Isn't this a question like "Which way should the toilet paper unroll?"

In my case, I've got the cyclometer on the right on two bikes, on the
left on two bikes, and I forget on the other bike.

And, BTW, our toilet paper unrolls over the top.

Wherever it fits. The lights go on first (and maybe the Air Zound),
and the computer goes in whatever space is left.
