It was these things combined, coincidentally! Due to where the bike was positioned (leaning against the wall), I had grabbed it from the 'wrong' side. Being totally unco and completely unable to hold, manoeuvre or get on a bike from the 'wrong' side, I wanted it out of my hands asap. I decided to turn a negative (being on the wrong side) into a positive (putting the bike on the left side of the trailer, which requires pushing from the right-hand side). I knew it was wrong when I did it - I wouldn't have done it if it was my bike, as mine have a 'side' too - but I did it anyway! I don't like what this says about me as a person, frankly. I felt dirty and in need of redemption as soon as I did it.
