He wore them all day except when sleeping, and masked his eyes when sleeping. After a couple weeks, suddenly the world was right side up again.&lt;p&gt;But taking the headset off, now everything was upside down.</text></comment>

I think this is kinda the same. I know what I have to do, but instinctively it all gets wrong. I can kinda override it, but then my reactions are way too delayed. So here&amp;#x27;s hoping for it will click some day..&lt;p&gt;[0]: A fixie is a bike with no freewheel. So the pedals follow the back wheel, and the other way. So if I pedal backwards, the bike goes the other way.</text></comment>
