BTW, on the video they show the guy using his right arm to do this!!! What a stupid mistake on an otherwise cool video. The "L" signal is for cars, in fact for old cars with broken signal lights. It was invented because we drive on the left side of the car and can't stick our arm out the right window. We don't have that problem on bikes! Get it? Still I see cyclists doing this all the time. All you do is look like you're waving at someone. Please, please, please, just POINT WHERE YOU'RE GOING!
