The problem with indicators is the average road user quickly becomes reliant on them as a substitute for looking properly.
Bicycle indicators? Buy, or make my own?

Situation 1
Oh look there is a cyclist
He has stuck his arm out-he is turning
I will slow down and let him come out
Situation 2
Oh look there is a cyclist
Why is he pulling out in front of me
I think I'll try and miss him
What is that flashing thing
Is that supposed to be an indicator
Since when did bikes have indicators
I wish he had put his arm out

I actually made some for my CDT GCSE back in 1989/90 somewhere around that time. Never fitted them to my bike as I stopped cycling when I passed my test one year latter and didn't start again until 2010.
You could compromise and put a flashing indicator on your arm.
Cycling gloves with hi-vis built in!
doesn't flash but.. !!
Ooo! Thats a cool idea. Tad on the expensive side though.
What if.. they made a glove that flashes when it detects lateral motion!?!

They probably do. I bought the jacket at a much reduced price at last year's cycling show.
Yes! The arrows will be really sharp, discolored in sunlight and your hand will weigh about 5.5Kg more!!!!!

Mm, i'm sure too. Wonder why it was much reduced.. Do you think it's weak to hold up against a tumble on the road? Some of those things look filmsy.
