Bicycle indicators

A bicycle indicator is a small, usually battery-operated or rechargeable light device that is attached to a bicycle and enables the direction indicators to flash (similar to those on cars or motorcycles).

Function and purpose:

• The bicycle indicator shows other road users in which direction the cyclist wants to turn – left or right.

• This ensures greater safety on the road, especially in poor visibility or in the dark.

• Bicycle indicators are often handy and easy to use, sometimes at the push of a button on the handlebars or via remote control.

Why is this practical?

• It replaces or supplements the classic hand signal when turning.

• Increases visibility and comprehensibility for other road users.

• Particularly useful in city traffic, in heavy traffic or for cyclists who do not want to take their hands off the handlebars.
