Since on a bike we don’t have a car door/window or moto throttle tying up our right arm why not? Even a truck driver should be able to understand if you’re pointing where you’re going. <br /><br /> The campaign for the CO law was led by Ken Chlouber, the guy who started the Leadville 100 event AFAIK, who happened to be a State Senator and cyclist. <br /><br />I find either arm works equally well to flip off drivers yelling traffic law opinions.<br />Pist Offnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-48584221186535216692018-08-02T13:07:24.655-04:002018-08-02T13:07:24.655-04:00I just ordered the same rack - Saris Superclamp EX...I just ordered the same rack - Saris Superclamp EX - after reading some reviews and getting recommendations on Reddit.

Obviously you use your left arm for all the signalling, because you're holding your beer with your right hand and steering with your knee. Giving people the finger takes precedence over signalling your turns, naturally.<br /><br /><br />When I'm making bike rides, I don't signal shit. I never turn, 'cause that is where danger happens.

I stopped at a stop sign by the minimall, stuck out my right arm and made a slow right into the parking lot, when a guy on the sidewalk yelled “wrong arm for a right turn” I admired his conciseness but still wanted to punch him. Took me a day to think of a response (“that shirt with those pants??”), but by then we were both gone. Eons ago I learned hand signals in driver’s ed, left arm out for a left, left arm bent up for a right, but I’m curious what the rest of you do to signal a right turn (talking American here, but I bet left-side-of-roaders have similar experiences). Mostly I see right arm out for a right. Most of the times I see someone hold their left arm bent upward they’re signaling a stop. I realize I’m in the minority of people who actually signal (especially drivers—seriously, how hard is it?), but is this just another case of You Just Can’t Win, or should I revert to the signals of my ancestors?Crosspalmshttp://crosspalms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-87059613770659175182018-08-01T21:56:39.623-04:002018-08-01T21:56:39.623-04:00I'm all for naps!I'm all for naps!bioriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179659093228068651noreply@blogger.com
