Anybody else also feel like the OP wrapped them backwards? I wrap heading OUTWARD (clockwise on the right, CCW on the left) as I was taught that the natural wrist motion would pull the tape taught instead of trying to unravel it. I wouldn't undo it if I were the OP, but rather take note in case it does come undone prematurely and do the next job the other way when the time comes.
Also, that adorable dog seems to want to play tug-of-war with your bike.
