Hahahaaa… When our daughter was a toddler (mid-80s), the annual Wolverine 200 bicycle ride was still a thing on Belle Isle. Husband would strap her into the baby seat on the back of his Giant and take her on a few 5-mile laps. “On your left!” was among the first things she learned to call out.
I have never been a very good rememberer, myself. Needed reminderers.
