When I was racing track, the Aussies would always say that they rode
in the other direction on their velodromes. Is that correct? I ask
because I recently saw the following images:

They surely are riding in the same direction that we do. BTW, it is
an experience the first time that you ride clockwise on a velodrome.
Not sure about Kissena though.

They do but they're upside down so it works out.

They all ride CCW - except the commies and their fluoridated bidons

Amazing, no mention of coreolis or drainage direction. Surely it would
be faster to go CW

God damn it - another person that thinks the toilets flush differently
because of this.

I once had someone argue that the toilets in Mexico flushed a
different direction.

For the last time there is no effect on things like toilets and
velodrome racing.

However, a very slow draining body of water with no other influences
can exhibit the effect.

Good luck with that.....the difference in the Earth's rotational speed
from one side of the washbasin to the other is next to zero. There are
far greater influences present (pulling the plug) which will totally
overshadow the coreolis effect. Did you miss my from the previous
message?

No I missed your post - yes that's why I wrote "with no other
influences and slow draining".

Maybe with a manual watch, doubt it makes any difference with a quartz
regulated.
