About 50 yards before the turn, take your left hand off the handlebars and extend it to the left, perpendicular to your body.

]]> 71160 1 27 Tip These signals apply to countries where motorists and cyclists drive on the right side of the road. For countries that use the left side of the road, check with local cycling organizations or direct.gov.uk.

]]> 71161 2 37 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183189/37.jpg Turn left Hold your hand open and point it in the direction you’re turning. Keeping your arm extended, start riding from the right shoulder of the street to the left side of the lane. Once you reach the intersection, turn left.

]]> 71162 3 48 Tip Don’t assume that cars behind you have noticed your hand signal. Always glance backwards quickly before you initiate your turn to check for traffic.

]]> 71163 4 56 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183189/56.jpg Turn right Know how to signal a right turn. About 25 yards before you turn right, raise your left hand with the elbow bent 90 degrees, your hand pointing skyward, and your left arm forming an “L.” Check for traffic before entering the intersection to turn.

]]> 71164 5 69 Tip It’s also acceptable to extend your right arm perpendicular to your body to signal a right turn.

]]> 71165 6 74 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183189/74.jpg Stop Learn the signal for a stop. About 50 yards before you come to a stop, raise your left elbow until it is perpendicular to your body. Point your fingers down to the pavement, palm facing the traffic or riders behind you, so your arm forms a reverse “7.” Hold this position until you come to a stop.

]]> 71166 7 89 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/183189/89.jpg Signal for a group Know the signal for a group of riders. If you are riding with a group behind you, signal drivers in front of you by raising your left hand straight above your head, palm forward.

]]> 71167 8 99 Fact Drivers and motorcyclists whose turn signals and brake lights aren’t working can also use the same signals.
