If a driver has been considerate by waiting to pass until they had clear visibility of the road ahead, I raise my right hand to about shoulder height as they start to pass. That makes sure they see it, and know that I appreciate their behaviour. Politeness to other road users, and showing recognition of considerate behaviour, is really important, as is apologizing if you do something stupid.

As a cyclist I always hold my hand up (like a high five) as the driver is passing so that they can see I appreciate the distance given. As a driver I always give plenty of space and will admit to being guilty of always checking if the cyclist has waved a thanks. Also as a cyclist if I'm on a country road with lots of blind corners, if I notice a build up of 2+ cars that can't safely overtake then I'll pull over and let them past.

@Ronald Belirouti , there is a more visible option. Wave with your road shoulder side hand/arm. This has another advantage - should a motor driver 'jump the gun' and make an unsafe pass into unsee traffic the arm wave will at least let them know you are safe & it is time to make the oncoming traffic safe. However, this latter part should not be seen as reinforcement of unsafe driving.

I also point down at an angle as I switch into a turn lane (“I’m going *there*”) and then raise my arm up to signal the turn itself once I’m in the turn lane. I’ve seen other cyclists use those gestures and found them to be the most unambiguous.

In The Netherlands if you hear "VOOR!" (in front) you know you're going to be overtaken pretty soon. Oncoming groups, if they are well-educated you can hear them shouting "TEGEN!" (oncoming), so they'll stay on their side of the bike path (I know, we are pretty spoiled in NL) If I were to take over a group and the rear riders would notice (I would ring of course), they would yell "ACHTER!" (behind), this is a theoretical case for now 😀 I have played with the idea of yelling "TEGEN!" when encountering a group (riding solo), just to make them think I got away from the rest of my group 😝

no it shouldn't, cycle training hads proven NOT to be effective in keeping people safe. A collation of all school and adult training by Hertfordshire county council found that cycle training had ZERO effect in terms of outcome. it is what motons do that has the biggest effect, signalling does not help, road positioning and WHEN you do it is massively more important. Put more onus onto motorists, not the vulnerable parties. Sorry but the facts regards training not aiding people cycling in terms of safety need to be opened up about and we stop thinking this is going to keep our kids safe, it really doesn't.

1:00 I hope "mirror, signal, maneuver" isn't all that's taught. Just like cyclists, drivers should shoulder-check too, before making the move. If they're not, they're likely to sideswipe another vehicle - possibly a cyclist - in their blind spot. 3:07 The stop hand signal demonstrated there is like a NATO "halt" hand signal. Keep your fingers up and together, raise your hand out and to the side, palm forward, typically with your elbow at 90 degrees. (Some media depicts it as a closed fist, but that's wrong. That means "machine gunner to the front.") The idea is to have your hand high and away from your body, to make a clear silhouette for the people behind you, when visibility might be low. 🤚🛑

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzitem.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

In which case signalling is often futile and unnecessary, either there is space and time to do what you need to do, or there isn't. it's a bit like pulling away in a car, signalling to do so is pointless, wait until there is a safe space, the signal does not in any way or should not, as to when you make your manoeuvre.. Advanced driving can teach some of the supposed well lessoned road riders a thing or two about superfluous signalling.

A lot of older riders in the States signal a right hand turn by raising their left hand at 90 degree angle to their outstretched upper arm. Goes back to the days when cars did not have turning signals and drivers would signal a left hand turn with their left arm fully extended out the window and a right turn by raising the forearm and hand at the 90 degree angle. I'm wondering if any older Brits do the same thing with their right arms.

Signalling for turns yes. Riding in a close group and someone pointing out a pot hole isn’t very helpful as by the time you hear the warning, you’ve just gone into the hole. Lead riders need to consider the size of the group behind.

In my country I'm suppose to signal when I am about to turn using my left arm. Being left handed, I just wait until the roads are clear

I have learned in the U.S. not to signal a right or a left intention if a car is waiting at a stop or slowing for a turn. If I signal, they take this as a signal to step on the accelerator and cut me off, extremely dangerously. I actually had one car many years ago cut a turn right in front of me at the last second and I landed on the wind screen. Most recently, I signaled a left turn, to a stopped car, at which point they stepped on the gas to cut in front of me. I said a few expletives, they stopped, and it turned out to be my dentist! No more signaling right or left for me. It incites aggressive driving. I do signal thank you's to polite drivers though.

You can’t hear a hand signal. My club members point out potholes but never with voice assist.

These hand signals are for communicating with fellow group riders and not with traffic in the United States. In my rides here in the States, no one uses traffic sanctioned hand signals which is too bad. Using one language can only increase safety over all, in groups and amongst traffic

Nice vid. Manon and Hank seem like they'd be great company to ride with (if only I could keep up with them) or have pints with.

In the USA, there are standardized hand signals that cyclists and motorists are supposed to use. There are also turn signal lights available for purchase.

So, tell me, what does it mean when a cyclist speed pass me in a park road when I am driving slowly to give them some space to pass, he got in front of me and showed me a thumbs down hand sign? Rude or it means some thing else. Yes, a thumbs down as in a gladiator match.

But which hand signal do you use when you look under a parked/stopped car ahead and see feet or a moving soccer ball?

i often wave to signal cars behind me to pass when the road ahead is clear. most of the time, the drivers give me plenty of space, and sometimes i get a friendly thumbs up in return.

I got a tail light with acceleration sensor. It lights up bright when it detects negative acceleration. But it lights up also when on -7% or higher descend too.. always when just tilting bicycle forward 7% or more.
