CAN's news release

Comments from Simon K:
"I just saw the bit on Can.org about indicators. This is great news. I reckon they can be a very useful substitute for hand signals where ever riding one-handed poses a risk to bicycle control (ie; turning while braking, turning in strong winds, turning through obstacles). Also, they make a lot of sense at night when waving an unlit arm around is of dubious value.

I agree eye contact will still be critical."
