If taking one hand off the bars causes you to instantly eat shit you don't know how to ride a bike well enough to be doing it anywhere near cars.

Do you actually ride your bike because there's no way that this won't happen to you.

I've learned to deliberately not signal in certain situations. If a driver opposite is turning left down the same road you are turning right onto, they will cut you off if you signal. Even if you are turning left onto a road where a driver is stopped at a stop sign, they often pull out into your path if you signal.

Basically any situation where another driver would cross your path as they always seem to interpret it as you waving them through.

I can't ride with one hand either mate. If I'm going dead straight I can coast for a few seconds and scratch my nose or something like that. But I can't actually pedal with only one hand on the bars.

I've tried practicing too. Just can't do it. I'm a pretty strong cyclist. I'm not squirrely all over the road or anything. Can't ride with one hand though.

>can you ride out of the saddle?

I ride a single speed so I'm out of the saddle like 1/3 of the time. I have no problem standing on the pedals while I crawl up a really long steep hill. No issues. But the minute I try to pedal with one hand on the bars everything goes squirrely and the bike wants to careen to one side or the other.

Around here people will literally stop in the middle of the road with their cars and wave me through despite me being at a stop sign, and others will pass me within inches 10 MPH over the limit. Saw a guy get pulled over after doing that once.

I don't use that center signal on the bike. Cars don't understand it. I put my left arm down at about 7 oclock and put my hand open palm back to indicate I'm slowing down unexpectedly or they should too. I also use this in conjunction with a flick of the fingers if a car is being a bro and not passing but can't see if it's all clear for them to pass because I'm at the crest of the hill and they're not.

so here's the signals I use.

>point right with right hand to turn right
>point left with left hand to turn left
>left arm at 7oclock palm outstretched backward indicating stop
>left arm at 7 oclock two fingers flick forward to indicate to cars "pass me now"
>left arm thumbs up if they're being prudent drivers

I generally see people using their right arm to point right to indicate a right turn instead of doing the standard left arm facing up to indicate a turn. It's not the correct gesture but I get why people do it, i.e drivers are dumb and don't recognize the right turn gesture unless the cyclist is literally pointing in the direction they're going in

ok smart arse. Really though, if you're doing "hand signals" on a bike, it's just pointing in the direction you're turning, when it's helpful or you feel like it, but never always. Everyone knows this and it's all anyone actually does. I sometimes literally point with a finger (very "incorrect!!!!1") if I feel the person following me is particularly retarded. And I sometimes don't indicate at all because it's blindingly obvious which way I'm turning from my road positioning.
