yh also the zip pocket thing,i hate having open jacket pockets when im riding

I don't think they have any bike's that have self cancelling indicators?

I haven't heard of them having auto cancelling indicators either. Don't know how well it'd work on a bike?

I haven't got into the pocket checking habit, no doubt I'll lose something one day if I don't! :(.

Most commonly found on BMWs, but have been around for decades.
Two main types - Typically either they auto-cancel after X flashes or X time, or they self-cancel after you travel a certain distance.

Obviously not amazingly popular, as we still haven't gotten them as standard.

I just went to halfords to pick up some tools quickly, I then met my mate and we went over to my other mate. By the time I noticed how freezing it is on dual carriage way when we were going 70mph I remember that I only went to get some tools... From a 20min trip it became a 3 hour trip :p

I wouldn't wear shorts going 10MPH, it's still going to hurt. :p
I cycle on a road bike, my average speed is around 20-25mph. I don't wear any protective gear apart from a helmet when I remember to wear it, now imagine Tour de France 2015 cyclists who hit speeds of 62-70mph+


Edit:

BTW NEVER buy anything from Motoin.de, their service is terrible. I cancelled my order with them and bought the stuff off ebay, came after 2 days. :rolleyes:

Has anyone used Motocard?

Fwiw I agree with you, and also cycle, sometimes hitting 50mph on descents in Lycra, but prepare for a flailing from people that wear full leathers to push their bike out of the drive ;)
