I know the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round.

What about when you are crusin' downtown, look over to the nice glass buildings, and see your reflection in the windows. When you start moving, what direction would the tires "appear" to be rotating. Probably wouldn't matter much, since you would most likely crash being as you are not looking where you are going, rather at the reflection in the window.

I have heard a rumor that some of the 2010 models will have a front tire that rotates clockwise, while the rear tire rotates counter clockwise. That way people will not if you are coming or going. But this is just a rumor.
