replyYes, people will usually post or draw a bicycle right to left which is going to ve opposite of what normally is drawn. I tried the prompt in arabic for many models and I don't recall any adjusting it based on that difference at least culturally speaking.

Arabic or Hebrew would be better tests for that.
replyChinese is also written left to right
