Nearside= Kerb side. Off side= farthest side from kerb.
Remember this could be either way depending on where they came from, ie, Europe, USA, nearside would be the right.

And dont forget....
To tell where the behind of the bike is (or any object for that matter, tree etc), simply wait and go for a piss
Cause you always go for a piss behind the object in question!!
Do you ever hear anyone say
"I will just go for a quick leak in front of that bush"

What from the other side you mean............

So..... on a bike the "passenger side" is really the back of the bike, and the drivers side is the front...

So which countries transpose left and right,again?
Forum whore
Half the ruddy world. Sensible countries (like us) realise the the left side is the right side. But ignorant countries (like Cousin Jonathan) insist that the right side is the right side.
It is patently obviously that as far as riding is concerned, right side = left side. Whereas nearside never equals offside.
(For some riders, of course, upside regularly equals downside. But that's another story)

Actually the near side thing stems from history (before motors). Since most people are right handed they lead horses with their right hand, the horse is on your right and that is the near side... the left. Its also the side you get on a horse.
The right handed thing is why we ride on the left, as horsemen passed each other they did it so they could draw their sword if necessary to defend themselves. The reason the Frenchies ride on the right is apparently Napoleon was left handed!?
Scooter boy
I'm confused...????
What side of the road are we supposed to ride on???
