Who can go round a corner one handed ?

with arm outstretched 
not me ?
exiting a major road one obviously signals....but dear motorist there does come a time when one has to pull ones arm in and grab hold of ones handlebars to negotiate the corner
this is the not the time for sullen stares, strange gestures, surly looks.....just because you didnt see me signal doesnt mean i didnt ..now does it, it means you werent paying attention :evil:

I will have to make an effort to start signalling again.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
Mini roundabouts are pretty much the same and larger roundabouts have wide enough turns that really, it should be possible (maybe not ideal, say in wet conditions) to inidicate if you have to.
Now, really big roundabouts where you have to sprint between lights - yeah, that's hard.
e.g. If you see a car move (right) to the middle of the road they are probably going to turn left at the junction they are approaching on the left. Look out for it and you'll be suprised how often you can spot this pattern.

Also, yes, I can go round a corner and signal. As for the really big sprinting between lights thing, it's not that bad, you have to assert yourself, take a lane and indicate!
I have to say drivers in London, much as they get a bad press, must be getting more used to dealing with cyclists because the vast majority treat me with consideration.
However, if they don't know where you're going it's harder for them to help.

I very rarely have so much as a hint of a near miss.

As stated in a previos thread, I am a signalling maniac, but I think I have both hands on the bars when I make a major manouvre..like turning right....
overtaking, or lane changing, I may keep my signal arm out.

But is there any body out there who goes round longer corners without any hands using the your weight to steer the bike
I ride a mountain bike, and offroad.....yes.
on the road, with traffic.....surely that would put one in contention for a darwin award?
