Reply to "Wrong Side of the Road"

Kevin:
I originally proposed the method for offsets you mention because zero is a pretty easy number to remember, but you are right that it may take a while to become intuitive. On reflection about what you said, I have now decided that the number one is not too much more difficullt to remember and this would lead to a more intuitive method. I would recommend stopping the rim at a reading of 0.10 and then freezing the meter. On the other side of the road I would set the rim again at 0.10, unfreeze the meter, and ride off.

If you desired to follow a road mark across the road, as Pete implied you would have to write down or remember the rim reading on the mark.

Of course the crude Jones technique works for electronic counters too, and I must confess I use it sometimes when going around parked cars.
